Starting in June, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) will schedule multiple direct flights each week between Sweden and Denmark and Pearson Airport in Mississauga.
SAS will run three weekly flights from Copenhagen and four weekly flights from Stockholm on board its brand-new Airbus A321LR aircraft as it expands its North American network.
In a statement yesterday, SAS officials said that as the fourth-largest city in North America, Toronto is “an international centre for business and finance, and a truly cosmopolitan city with a vast array of experiences” for travellers.
“We are happy to announce direct flights from Scandinavia to Toronto, taking the next step in strengthening our North America network. SAS’ new routes will make travel between Scandinavia and Canada easy and convenient for our travellers,” said Karl Sandlund, an SAS executive vice-president. “Flights depart from Scandinavia at midday and from Toronto in the afternoon enabling good connections in either end to other destinations.”
