SAS - first in Scandinavia with direct connection to Dubai
Dubai's development into the business and tourism giant that it is today is
attracting a large number of visitors every year. SAS is now acting on this
demand for non-stop flights from Scandinavia to Dubai. SAS is the first airline
to open a direct connection between Scandinavia and Dubai.
The inaugural flight Copenhagen-Dubai will take off October 31, 2007. The new
service will operate three times a week in both directions until March 29, 2008.
The launch of this route makes it possible to satisfy business as well as
leisure travelers' needs and the timetable is optimized to suit both these
groups, whether going on a business trip or on a golf trip.
Dubai is one of the fastest growing cities on earth. It has already established
itself as a quality tourist destination but is also ranked as one of the world's
leading trading centres. The opening of this destination offers the SAS's
customers smooth as well as time efficient travelling to the expanding Dubai
market.
"Travel between Scandinavia and Dubai has undergone strong expansion in recent
years and is expected to grow further. Dubai is a highly attractive destination
for both business and leisure travellers. The launch of this route is a part of
SAS's new strategy, the aim of which is to rationalize air traffic and become
even better at meeting customers' needs. Dubai also offers excellent connection
possibilities to destinations in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent",
says Lars Sandahl, Chief Commercial Officer, Scandinavian Airlines
International.
Travellers will have access to the very best comfort with the newly configured
Airbus 340 equipped with SAS comfortable seats, and new SAS Business Sleepers,
throughout Business Class. Customers on all intercontinental flights can select
between travelling Business Class, Economy Extra or Economy Class. Economy Extra
offers a secluded cabin, upgraded service, broader seats and more legroom
This new service will also offer SAS Cargo's customers a better access to the
Dubai market.
SAS system of three classes creates freedom of choice and gives customers the
possibility to choose the fare and service level that suits their needs on each
occasion. This is yet another exiting initiative from SAS, proving that we are
becoming even more responsive to the needs of the modern Scandinavian
traveller", says Lars Sandahl, Chief Commercial Officer, Scandinavian Airlines
