International flights to Copenhagen are to return to Aberdeen International Airport with Scandinavian Airlines’ (SAS).
The route will provide direct connectivity to Denmark and enhance SAS offering at the north-east’s major transport hub.
The service, starting June 27, will initially run three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday) and may increase subject to demand.
SAS also currently operates a service to Stavanger from Aberdeen International Airport.
Mark Beveridge, Operations Director at Aberdeen International Airport, said: “This is the first time the Copenhagen route will have operated from our airport since March 2020.
“It is great to see SAS reinstate the Copenhagen route which has obvious links to the energy sector. Copenhagen also previously appealed to our leisure passengers too and was named as Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel for 2019.
“Bringing back business safely remains a key priority at our airport and welcome the restart of this route.
Niko Ek, Head of Sale for SAS Europe, said: “We are very pleased to be able to restart our flights from Aberdeen to Copenhagen, as a vital part of rebuilding a global network.
“I am confident that the new connection will be successful and that we will be able to further strengthen our position in Aberdeen and the rest of UK when demand for international travel is increasing step by step.”
