New direct route to Copenhagen
Scandinavian Airlines will launch the five-flight-a-week service from Humberside Airport to the Danish capital next Monday.
SAS’s regional general manager Western Europe Hans Dyhrfort said: “This is a major milestone for SAS, as we will start providing the only non-stop, direct service to Scandinavia from the Humber, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire region. With the area on its way to becoming the renewable energy capital of the UK, the Humber region is an important northern hub and area of development for SAS.”
