SAS gjenåpner Stockholm-Madrid - og lukker den

[FlightDeck]

SAS' 47. nye rute i 2013 blir mellom Stockholm og Madrid. Iberia la for øvrig ned sin rute tidligere i år - og dette er vel også en rute som SAS fløy en kort periode i 2011.

On 1 July Scandinavian Airlines launches a new route between Stockholm Arlanda
and Madrid. This new route will complement the service that SAS already offers
from Copenhagen to Madrid. SAS will now provide up to ten departures a week
between Scandinavia and Madrid.
SAS will start direct flights between Stockholm and Madrid twice a week from 1
July. Flights will leave from Arlanda on Mondays at 9.15 a.m. returning from
Madrid at 2.05 p.m. Flights on Fridays will leave at 07.10 a.m. in the morning
from Arlanda, returning from Madrid at 3.50 p.m. SAS is planning to use a Boeing
737 on this route, with a flight time of approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes.

"We know that many of our customers want to travel with SAS, whether they are
travelling for business or pleasure. So we're happy to offer flights between
Arlanda and Madrid that are both good for business travellers who want to start
their week in Madrid and other passengers who want to spend a long weekend
there," says Joakim Landholm, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS.

SAS has so far launched 47 new routes in 2013. The new routes from Stockholm
Arlanda are Vilnius, Innsbruck, Pula, Palermo, Cagliari, Thessaloniki, Tel Aviv,
Pristina and Alanya. The new routes from Gothenburg are Nice and Pristina. For
