Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has unveiled plans
to launch direct flights between Copenhagen (CPH) and Bangkok
(BKK),
Thailand.
Scheduled to take off from Copenhagen on 30
October 2023, the airline will operate the seasonal route with
thrice weekly flights using Airbus A350 aircraft with 300 seats
across three classes: SAS Business, SAS Plus and SAS Go.
Operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
flight SK973 is scheduled to leave CPH at 23:30, arriving at BKK
at 17:05 the following day.
The return leg, SK974, will take off on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
leaving BKK at 23:45 and landing back at CPH at 06:35 the
following day.
“Thailand and the Scandinavian countries have a
long history of friendship and cooperation and returning with a
direct route after nine years is a true pleasure,” said Anko van der Werff,
President & CEO of SAS. “The Bangkok route will offer a
perfect entry point for wider Thailand and be a great option for
both business and leisure travelers. Bangkok is a vibrant meeting
point for international businesses and the country has topped
several rankings as the world’s most popular tourist destination
with its beautiful beaches, lush jungles and extraordinary Thai
cuisine. Regardless of reason to travel, we are excited to once
again offer a direct connection between Scandinavia and the Land
of Smiles.”
SAS will
also operate thrice weekly flights to Tokyo Haneda
(HND) and Shanghai (PVG), as part of its winter 2023/2024 program.
The Copenhagen-Bangkok winter seasonal
route is subject to governmental
approval.
