Scandinavian Airlines has unveiled plans to
launch flights between Copenhagen Airport and John F. Kennedy
International Airport in New York.
The new route, scheduled to take off on 9 February
2023, will give SAS customers the option of travelling from both
the West and East side of New York as the airline will continue to
offer departures between Scandinavia and Newark.
The JFK service will begin with five flights per
week from Copenhagen, ramping up to daily flights for the summer
schedule.
During the Winter 2022 schedule, SAS will operate
flights to JFK every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Flights are scheduled to depart from CPH at 18:25
and arrive at JFK at 21:30. The return leg is slated to leave JFK
at 23:00 and arrive back at CPH at 12:55.
In the Summer 2023 schedule daily flights will
leave CPH at 19:20, arriving at CPH at 22:00 with departures from
JFK timed for 23:55 and arrival back at CPH set for 13:45.
SAS will operate at Terminal 7 at JFK.
“We are very pleased to launch our new route to
JFK,” said Erik Westman, EVP & CCO, Network and Revenue
management. “SAS offers a solid product to Newark Airport from
Scandinavia, and we believe that this addition to JFK from
Copenhagen will strengthen the New York offer to our customers.
The US is a strategic market for SAS, and we will continue to
develop new routes and destinations whenever the right opportunity
presents itself.”
SAS will offer about 130 departures per week on a
total of 12 routes this winter.
