SAS is to launch flights between
Stockholm and
Beijing
in April 2007.
"We are eager to be flexible and operate flights on routes demanded by
customers," said Lars Lindgren, President of Scandinavian Airlines
International. "Since our direct routes to
Shanghai
and Beijing from
Copenhagen
are highly appreciated, we see great potential in the Stockholm-Beijing route."
From April 2007, the Stockholm-Beijing route will be added to the airline's
already extensive flight connections with the East. There will be four direct
flights per week from Stockholm to Beijing. SAS will continue to fly from
Copenhagen to Beijing and Shanghai.
Passengers to Beijing from Stockholm will have access to the very highest
comfort. The route will be operated with an Airbus 340 aircraft equipped with
SAS's well-known flatbeds in the entire Business Class cabin. The design and
functionality of these seats can be compared with a real bed when folded into
the sleeping position. The new seats provide improved comfort and more secluded
space than traditional seats. Departures from Stockholm will be late at night,
making it possible to plan an entire day of work prior to the comfortable flight
to Beijing.
To create as flexible a journey as possible, customers traveling on the route
to Beijing can choose between Business Class, Economy Class and Economy Extra.
The Economy Extra cabin will be separate from the rest of Economy area, the
seats will be wider and passengers will have more legroom. In this class, it
will also be possible to combine other types of tickets, such as Business Class,
and security control will be quicker through the Fast Track area. |
