Increase in Irish people flying SAS to Scandinavia

Scandinavian Airlines report an increase in passenger numbers on all their Irish routes to Stockholm and Copenhagen for the first half of this year.

Figures from January - June this year show a 12 percent increase on its Dublin to Stockholm route, a 5 percent increase on its Dublin to Copenhagen route and a 2 percent increase on its Dublin to Oslo route.

Scandinavian Airlines Country Manager Ireland, Alan Sparling, says we now look on Scandinavia as a good value-for-money destination.

SAS is Europe's most punctual airline and Sparling says the increase in traffic numbers 'clearly shows that if you have a punctual, flexible and business orientated timetable, you will see a steady growth in passenger numbers'.

Scandinavian Airlines is a full service airline that offers passengers mobile boarding and their award winning Eurobonus loyalty scheme. Their fares never include any hidden extras or charges.

SAS fly direct from Dublin to Copenhagen from €75 one way; from Dublin to Oslo from €77 one way; and from Dublin to Stockholm from €85 one way. Passengers can take, free, 23kg baggage, have free online check-in, get a 25 percent child discount, and enjoy free newspapers, coffee and tea in Economy Class.
