SAS is expanding its intercontinental offering for Winter 2026/27 with three new longhaul routes from Copenhagen to Dubai, Phuket, and Krabi. The additions strengthen SAS’ winter portfolio, responding to growing demand for travel to the Middle East and Asia while further reinforcing Copenhagen’s role as a global hub for Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
The return to Dubai—SAS’ first operation to the UAE since 2011—marks a significant milestone in the airline’s longhaul development.
