Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) and Delta Air Lines (Delta) are strengthening their partnership, by entering a new codeshare agreement, effective September 25, 2024, aimed at improving flight connections between North America and Scandinavia. This partnership follows SAS's recent induction into the SkyTeam alliance on September 1, 2024.
Under the agreement, customers of both airlines will benefit from expanded travel options and reciprocal frequent flyer perks. Travellers can now earn and redeem SkyMiles or SAS EuroBonus points across both carriers. The codeshare will offer SAS passengers access to over 150 North American destinations via Delta's hubs in key cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle. In return, Delta's customers will gain access to 50 destinations in Northern Europe via SAS's Scandinavian hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
Paul Verhagen, SAS's Chief Commercial Officer, expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting SAS's new direct route from Copenhagen to Seattle as a key aspect of the agreement. He emphasised the airline's commitment to providing seamless travel experiences and enhanced connectivity.
Perry Cantarutti, Delta's Senior Vice President of Alliances, reinforced the significance of the collaboration, noting that it will strengthen Delta's presence in Northern Europe, providing customers with better access to Scandinavian destinations while improving their overall travel experience. This agreement marks a significant step in broadening the global networks of both airlines.
