SAS shifting Los Angeles service to Copenhagen

Scandinavia's SAS is to challenge budget carrier Norwegian on the transatlantic route to Los Angeles from Copenhagen next year, by transferring its current service from Stockholm. It says it will "relocate" its services on the Stockholm-Los Angeles route to the Danish capital from 13 January 2020. The carrier will increase the connection to a daily frequency starting in March, ahead of the summer season. "The timetable is attractive, and thanks to the economies of scale we can achieve in fully utilising our fleet, we are in a position to provide a daily service from Copenhagen,” says SAS executive VP commercial, Karl Sandlund. Passengers already booked on the Stockholm-Los Angeles service will be rebooked via the new flight. SAS currently uses Airbus A330-300s on the Los Angeles route. SAS says the US gateway is "one of the most in-demand intercontinental routes" from the Danish capital.<br/>
