(TAN): SAS has opened 180 direct routes from Scandinavia to Europe in its spring and summer traffic programmes, assuming travel restrictions have eased, the airline said in a statement.
In addition to reopening several routes, new destinations such as Stockholm-Barcelona, Oslo-Faro and Copenhagen-Larnaca have also been launched.
Demand for air travel is increasing a little further down the line, especially to warmer destinations. SAS will therefore introduce more departures to several destinations around the Mediterranean. Even with the current tight travel restrictions due to Covid-19, there is hope that these will ease as vaccination rates increase and spread of infection in society goes down.

SAS will increase capacity on all domestic routes accordingly, as well as within the Nordic and to major cities in Northern Europe, to meet an increase in demand for leisure as well as business travel.
