To meet the growing demand for travel to the U.S., SAS is introducing a route to Seattle, offering five weekly direct flights from Copenhagen as part of its summer 2025 schedule. This marks a milestone, as SAS resumes service between the two cities 57 years after its inaugural flight.

With Seattle added to the network, SAS will offer nonstop flights to 11 North American gateways, further enhancing its global connectivity from Copenhagen Airport, serving as a key international gateway to and from Scandinavia and Northern Europe.

“We are excited to expand our North American network with Seattle. The route from Copenhagen will provide more travel options for our customers and strengthen the connection between Scandinavia and the Pacific Northwest, a region of growing economic importance with deep Scandinavian roots”, says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS. 

Seattle is one of the wealthiest cities in the U.S. and has maintained deep and proud connections with Scandinavia dating back to the early 1900s. These ties have been shaped by waves of Nordic immigrants who brought their culture, skills, and entrepreneurial spirit to the region, leaving a lasting impact on the city’s identity and economy.

“This new addition to our network further expands our global reach and underscores our commitment to providing travelers with more direct route options. Seattle has been a highly requested destination by our customers, and we are excited to respond to their needs by launching this route. Additionally, Seattle’s growing cargo operations make this expansion even more strategically valuable”, van der Werff continues.

Copenhagen-Seattle will start operations on May 21. Schedules have been designed to maximize connectivity with the rest of the SAS Network, offering seamless one-stop access to and from 39 European cities via Copenhagen. Key destinations such as Berlin, Helsinki, Milan, and Zurich will be among the cities benefiting from this enhanced connectivity.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) handled 50.9 million passengers in 2023 and passenger traffic at Sea-Tac is expected to continue growing.

Seattle is one of several new routes that SAS will announce soon.
