SAS’ new European Business Class strengthens the airline’s competitive position and enhances the customer journey. It aims to attract even more regional and international premium travelers, reinforcing SAS’ position in the premium segment. The launch supports SAS’ long-term strategy and strengthens Copenhagen’s role as a global hub for Scandinavian and European connectivity, while also simplifying connections and offering a more cohesive experience for passengers traveling across multiple alliance airlines.

“Many of our comfort- and quality-focused travelers expect a clearly defined European Business Class that aligns with international standards,” says Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS. “While SAS Plus has provided an upgraded experience, it has lacked the recognition and clarity that travelers seek. With the reintroduction of European Business Class, we are ensuring that SAS offers the premium experience of a top European airline.”

Enhanced dining experience: A new Food & Beverage concept with a more premium and flexible dining experience including reusable premium tableware catering to the diverse needs of SAS Business Class travelers.
Dedicated cabin: A section in the front of the aircraft for Business Class travelers, separated with a curtain and overhead divider.
Blocked middle seats: Ensuring more space and privacy.
Priority treatment on the ground: Priority check-in, boarding and access to more lounges, ensuring a seamless premium travel experience from start to finish.
