It used to fly to Bangkok, Colombo, Delhi, Hong Kong, Osaka and Beijing, SingaporeShanghai and Tokyo. In recent years, the Asia network had shrunk to a trickle for SAS Scandinavian Airlines.

The company found itself faced with a number of financial difficultiesCovid and the closure of borders in Asia. In recent months, however, the Scandinavian carrier is gradually returning to this continent, which was one of the flagships of its network.

SAS has resumed flights on Shanghai Pudong and Tokyo Haneda. It will serve these two destinations this winter with three weekly flights each from Copenhagen.

The big news, however, is its return to the hugely popular destination of Bangkok. SAS Scandinavian Airlines will open the route on 30 October. It will operate only during the winter season until the end of March.

Flights will leave Copenhagen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday departing at 11.30pm and arriving at 5.10pm in Bangkok. Return flights will depart every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 11.45pm and land in Denmark at 6.35am, facilitating connections. The flights will be operated in Airbus A350 with business class, SAS Plus and SAS Go.
