SAS to resume daily Copenhagen-Dubai flights

SAS Scandinavian Airlines will resume flights to Dubai for the first time in 15 years with the launch of a daily service connecting Copenhagen Airport (CPH) and Dubai World Central Airport (DWC). Set to operate from 25 October 2026 to 27 March 2027, the route marks a “significant milestone” in the airline’s long-haul expansion.

 

The service will link the Danish capital’s Copenhagen Airport (CPH) with the UAE’s second-largest airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, commonly known as Dubai World Central.

 

The flights will be operated by an Airbus A320neo, departing Copenhagen at 11:45pm and arriving in Dubai at 9:15am the following day. The return leg will depart DWC at 11am, landing in Copenhagen at 3:20pm.

 

SAS will go head-to-head with Emirates, which currently offers a daily service between the two destinations.

“Its world-class resorts, vibrant cultural scene, and year-round warm climate make it a compelling destination for both leisure and business travellers.”

 

Beyond being a gateway to Europe for UAE travellers, Copenhagen continues to draw international visitors with its cultural landmarks, including the colourful Nyhavn harbour, Tivoli Gardens amusement park and the iconic Little Mermaid statue.
