About Scandinavian Airlines
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS, IATA: SK), founded in 1946, is a genuinely unique carrier in world aviation — the jointly-owned flag carrier of three Nordic nations: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. This tri-national structure is reflected in SAS's network, which operates three major hubs — Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH), Stockholm Arlanda (ARN), and Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) — rather than a single home base, connecting the Nordic region to Europe, North America, and Asia.
SAS's ownership evolved significantly after the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2022 to restructure its debt. Emerging from Chapter 11 in 2023, SAS brought in new major shareholders — Air France-KLM and investment firm Castlelake — alongside the Danish and Swedish governments, while Norway's state ownership was exited entirely. As a founding member of Star Alliance, SAS continues to offer seamless connectivity across 25+ partner airlines. FareOptic compares SAS fares across all three Nordic hubs to help you find the best SK ticket price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking Scandinavian Airlines flights on FareOptic
Who owns Scandinavian Airlines?
SAS is uniquely structured as the joint flag carrier of three Nordic nations — Denmark, Norway, and Sweden — a tri-national ownership arrangement dating back to the airline's 1946 founding. Following SAS's Chapter 11 restructuring in 2022–2023, its ownership evolved further: Air France-KLM and investment firm Castlelake became major shareholders alongside the Danish and Swedish governments, while Norway's government stake was fully exited as part of the restructuring.
What happened with SAS's Chapter 11 restructuring?
SAS filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in 2022 to restructure billions in debt and renegotiate labor and aircraft-lease agreements. The airline exited Chapter 11 in 2023 with new ownership: Air France-KLM and Castlelake invested significantly and took large equity stakes, while the Danish and Swedish states retained reduced stakes. SAS has continued operating normally throughout and since the restructuring.
Is SAS part of an airline alliance?
Yes. SAS is a founding member of Star Alliance, giving passengers access to 25+ partner airlines worldwide, shared lounge access, and EuroBonus mile earning and redemption across the network. SAS has also deepened commercial ties with Air France-KLM following that group's investment in SAS.
What is the EuroBonus program?
EuroBonus is SAS's frequent flyer program. Members earn points on SAS flights and Star Alliance partner flights, redeemable for award tickets, upgrades, and extra services. Tier levels — Pandion, Diamond, Gold, and Silver — unlock benefits like lounge access, extra baggage, and priority services.
What are SAS's main hub airports?
SAS operates three major hubs reflecting its tri-national ownership: Copenhagen Kastrup (CPH), its largest hub with the most connections; Stockholm Arlanda (ARN); and Oslo Gardermoen (OSL). All three hubs offer connections across SAS's European, and long-haul North American and Asian network.
Does SAS fly non-stop to the United States and Asia?
Yes. SAS operates non-stop long-haul flights from Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo to destinations including New York JFK, Chicago, and other US cities, as well as long-haul routes to Asia such as Bangkok. These routes connect through SAS's three Nordic hubs.
