In
spring 2013, Scandinavian Airlines is launching a new route from
Copenhagen to San Francisco with easy connections from London.
The
new service will run six times a week and is scheduled to offer
smooth connections from London to San Francisco and North American
destinations.
The
new San Francisco route will be served by wide-bodied Airbus A340
aircraft, the largest aircraft in the SAS fleet, offering 245 seats
with a choice of three classes: Business, Economy Extra and Economy.
An important hub of the US West Coast, San Francisco International
Airport offers fast and efficient transfers to an extensive SAS
partner route network on the US West Coast and the South Pacific
including Hawaii, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Diego, Seattle,
Vancouver and Mexico City.
Rickard
Gustafson, CEO of Scandinavian Airlines, says: “North America is an
important and growing market for SAS which is always looking to serve
markets where there is high demand from Nordic companies and
individual travellers. We saw a particularly strong demand in the
growth area of San Francisco and the US West Coast and hope the new
route will benefit both business and leisure travellers.”
SAS
will be flying six times a week from London Heathrow to San Francisco
(via Copenhagen) on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
