SAS and TAROM expand partnership with new codeshare agreement

Scandinavian Airlines and TAROM are strengthening their cooperation through a new commercial codeshare agreement. The partnership expands connectivity between Scandinavia and Romania, offering seamless travel options via major European hubs.

The launch coincides with the first travel date on 9 February 2026.

“This new partnership with TAROM marks an important step in enhancing connectivity between Scandinavia and Romania. By combining our networks and offering smooth transfers via key European hubs, we are giving our customers more choice, flexibility, and convenience across their journeys. Together with TAROM, we look forward to delivering a seamless and reliable travel experience for all passengers,” says Paul Verhagen, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at SAS.

With the new agreement, SAS customers gain access to TAROM‑operated services between Bucharest and major European hubs such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, and Prague, with onward connections on SAS‑operated flights to Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm. TAROM will place its code on these SAS services between the hubs and Scandinavia, enabling smoother travel between Romania and the Nordic region.

Strengthening Copenhagen as a global hub

The partnership supports SAS’ broader network strategy by making it easier for travelers in Bucharest to connect via SAS’ main hubs in Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo. By linking TAROM’s local network with SAS’ intra‑Scandinavian and wider European services, the cooperation strengthens passenger flows into SAS’ existing hubs and improves connectivity across both airlines’ European networks.

SAS’ operational reliability adds further value to the partnership. In 2025, SAS was repeatedly ranked among the most punctual airlines in the world, underscoring the airline’s commitment to dependable and predictable operations for travelers across its network.

Passengers traveling on these codeshare services will also benefit from SAS’ ongoing investment in the onboard experience, including the rollout of high‑speed Starlink WiFi across SAS‑operated flights. These enhancements ensure a smoother, more connected journey whenever the itinerary includes segments flown by SAS, while the broader cooperation with TAROM provides seamless travel across both networks.
