Scandinavian carrier SAS is expanding its network in North America with the launch this week of new routes to Toronto from Copenhagen and Stockholm.
SAS will operate three weekly flights from Copenhagen and four weekly flights from Stockholm with its new fuel-efficient A321LR aircraft, which are part of the airline’s ongoing fleet renewal.
The inaugural flight from Copenhagen took place on Thursday, while the first flight from Stockholm-Arlanda set off on Friday.
“We are delighted to connect Canada and Scandinavia and fly to Toronto with our latest generation aircraft, which is ideal for this route. Using the A321LR means we can connect even more parts of the world and it is well suited for the Scandinavian market and the emerging travel patterns to and from the region,” said SAS president and CEO, Anko van der Werff.
The Toronto routes will be operated with a three-class configuration with 157 seats – 22 seats in business, 12 seats in premium economy, and 123 seats in economy.
In the coming summer season, SAS will fly to seven destinations in the US and Canada, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC and Toronto.
