Last updated 8th Dec 2022
The flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden is coming to Newquay.
Today, Cornwall Airport Newquay has announced a significant development in its Summer 2023 schedule with - what they say - a connection with the Scandinavian country which is 'highly demanded'.
The new route is set to be a 'substantial' boost to the network of the Cornish gateway, with a twice-weekly link to Copenhagen.
It means an additional return to SAS, which is bringing back its seasonal service from June 2023.
It's also been revealed they'll be using their CRJ900s to run the service.
The airport say that'll offer 2,500 two-way seats during the peak season in the over-1300km journey.
Amy Smith, Head of Commercial, Cornwall Airport Newquay commented: “SAS joined us in 2019 and witnessed exceptional success when the carrier linked us to the Nordic nation for the first time. Resuming the Copenhagen service will not only enhance the variety of destinations we offer our customers once again, but also re-open the Star Alliance network of over 70 onward destinations in Europe, Asia, and North America. We look forward to working with SAS next year and rebuilding the triumph of this route and developing further with our airline partner."
Copenhagen joins the airport's growing direct European services from Newquay, including Alicante, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Faro, Malaga and Zurich.
"SAS is very happy to announce the resumption of the route between Copenhagen and Newquay/Cornwall. We look forward to bringing more Scandinavian tourists to enjoy charming Cornwall this summer. The route also offers the residents of Cornwall easy access to discover Scandinavia as well as onward connections from Copenhagen.”, says Erik Westman, EVP & CCO, Network and Revenue management.
This now takes the airport’s offering to 21 destinations with 10 airline partners.
