Luxembourg has a new connection to Copenhagen: SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) will provide two daily flights from March 2026 between Findel airport and the Danish capital. Currently, only Luxair serves this line with direct flights.

The addition of Luxembourg as a destination is part of a SAS expansion strategy, notably through its summer flight program: the airline announced nine new lines on Monday, including six new destinations, thus offering, according to its own saying, more destinations than in any previous summer program. The objective, according to the company, is to further strengthen Copenhagen as a world hub in Scandinavia.

For travelers from the Grand Duchy, integration into the SAS network means more choices and flexibility on the line to Copenhagen. This also opens more possibilities to join Scandinavia, Asia and North America with a single stopover, in addition to long-haul hobs like Frankfurt, Paris or Amsterdam.

In addition, SAS will increase the frequency on more than 25 existing lines from Copenhagen, including the link to Seoul, launched in September 2025. This will be offered six times a week from the summer of 2026, just like that to Tokyo.

New possibilities of correspondence arise from a new code sharing partnership with Air France-KLM: from Copenhagen, many American destinations are thus accessible: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-Newark, New York-Jfk, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, Dc
