Scandinavian Airlines is to launch a new service from Humberside airport to Copenhagen.
SAS will operate the flight to the Danish capital five times per week from October 28 with tickets going on sale on June 17.
The route will be the first direct link between the Lincolnshire airport and Scandinavia.
Hans Dyhrfort, SAS’ regional general manager for Western Europe, said: “With more than five million people living within reach of the airport, the Humber region is an important northern hub and area of development for SAS.
“With the area on its way to becoming the renewable energy capital of the UK, now is the perfect time to strengthen ties with Denmark and the Nordic region.”
The flight to Copenhagen will depart from Humberside at 19.15 for a 21.50 arrival with the return journey leaving Copenhagen at 18.10 to arrive back at 18.45.
Paul Litten, the airport’s commercial director, added: “SAS’s commitment underlines their view that the Humber, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire region is a place to do business and this service will provide superb connectivity to Scandinavia and beyond.
“Today is a major milestone, attracting Scandinavian Airlines to Humberside as we develop a range of convenient services for those five million passengers within an hour’s drive of the airport.”
