Seattle becomes SAS’ 11th gateway in North America, reinforcing Copenhagen Airport’s role as a key hub for transatlantic travel. The route is operated with Airbus A350-900, offering seamless connections to 39 European cities, including Berlin, Zurich, Milan, and Helsinki.
“Seattle is more than just a new destination for us. It is a return to a city with historic ties to Scandinavia and growing importance for business and tourism. We are proud to reopen this connection and offer our customers even greater reach across the Atlantic,” says Anko van der Werff.
The Seattle route is part of SAS’ wider network expansion, which also includes new destinations such as Nuuk and Seoul, both launching in 2025.
