Scandinavian airline SAS has announced it will switch its Heathrow-Gothenburg service to Stansted.
Starting on October 26, SAS will operate 12 weekly flights using a Boeing 737-600 aircraft to London’s third busiest airport.
SAS is also introducing larger aircraft on all its existing routes to London increasing capacity from Scandinavia by more than 50,000 seats by 2016.
“I’m delighted to welcome SAS back to Stansted with what will no doubt be a very popular service to and from Gothenburg,” said Stansted’s managing director Andrew Harrison.
He added: “I’m sure the new service will be very well received within our catchment area, especially by business passengers along the London-Stansted-Cambridge economic corridor as well as those travelling from Sweden wanting quick and easy access to London and the East of England.”
