Today, Scandinavian Airlines launches its new direct route from Copenhagen to Nuuk, re-establishing a connection that was last flown more than two decades ago.
The new service strengthens the ties between Greenland and the world, while at the same time strengthening Copenhagen’s role as the leading international hub for Scandinavia.
Recently named one of National Geographic’s best destinations in the world for 2025, Greenland is quickly becoming a top choice for travelers seeking historic, scenic experiences.
For SAS, the route adds a unique Arctic destination to its network – offering customers rare access to one of the world’s most pristine and culturally rich regions.
The launch coincides with the opening of the new international airport in Nuuk, and is part of SAS’s broader strategy to build meaningful, long-term connections across the North Atlantic and beyond.
The route will fly three times a week during the summer and is developed in close cooperation with Greenlandic partners, including Air Greenland.
“This route reflects our broader ambition: to be a resilient, adaptable and collaborative airline for the future,” says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS, proud to bring that trusted route to such a meaningful route.”
As SAS evolves into a future-focused airline, Copenhagen’s role as a global hub is key, enhancing connectivity and supporting mobility, exchange and growth across Scandinavia and beyond.
The launch reflects SAS’ continued focus on long-term growth and connectivity.
Strategic partnerships, including with SkyTeam and Air France-KLM, have expanded its global reach, while continued investment in customer experience and operational excellence has strengthened SAS’s position.
