Air France-KLM Enhances Partnership with SAS through New Codeshare Flights
In a strategic move to strengthen transatlantic travel options, Air France-KLM and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) have announced an expansion of their partnership with new codeshare flights. This collaboration, revealed on Tuesday, allows Air France to place its code on a range of SAS-operated nonstop flights between Scandinavian hubs and major U.S. cities.
New Codeshare Routes
The newly introduced codeshare flights connect Copenhagen to several key destinations in the United States, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.. Additional codeshare arrangements include routes from Stockholm to Miami and Newark, and from Oslo to New York and Newark.
Future Developments
This collaboration comes on the heels of Air France-KLM’s announcement in July about its plans to acquire a majority stake in SAS. The completion of this deal is projected for the second half of 2026, marking a significant evolution in their partnership.
SAS’s SkyTeam Membership
As part of the ongoing collaboration, SAS officially joined the SkyTeam airline alliance on September 1, 2024. This affiliation allows SAS to enjoy reciprocal benefits with Air France-KLM, including initial codeshare and interline agreements. Passengers can now benefit from shared loyalty programs, enhancing their travel experience.
For travelers seeking comprehensive options for transatlantic journeys, the expanded Air France-KLM and SAS codeshare flights represent a significant enhancement. With increased connectivity and exclusive travel benefits, this partnership promises to deliver exceptional value for frequent flyers and new travelers alike.
