SAS EXPANDS ITS SUMMER PROGRAM TO INCLUDE ATLANTA
As part of SAS' summer program 2024, a ninth destination will be added to the North American network. On June 17[th ]SAS will start connecting customers with daily nonstop service to Atlanta from Copenhagen.
SAS is not only introducing a new destination but also increasing frequencies to the US this summer. The Copenhagen-New York (JFK) route will have up to two daily flights, complementing the existing daily flights to New York-Newark Airport from Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen. Copenhagen to Boston flights will operate daily, up from six times a week during summertime. In addition, a fourth weekly flight will be added from Copenhagen to Toronto.
With almost 94 million passengers passing through in 2022, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest and most efficient airport. Cargo transportation is expected to play an important role for this route, partly because of its proximity to the Port of Savannah, the largest and fastest-growing container terminal in America.
“Through an agreement with Delta Air Lines, passengers can continue their journey on other Delta-served destinations out of Atlanta. This development means an expanded offering for SAS passengers, who can look forward to reaching several new and exciting destinations across the Southern USA, Caribbean, and Latin America, all conveniently accessible from Atlanta,” says SAS President & CEO, Anko van der Werff.
