SAS Announce New Route to Stockholm from Birmingham Airport

SAS Scandinavian Airlines is pleased to announce the launch of a new direct route from Birmingham to Stockholm, starting from October 2012.

The new service to the Swedish capital will fly daily from Birmingham Airport every day except Saturdays from only £104 one way.

Hans Dyhrfort, SAS Regional General Manager for the UK, Ireland & Iceland: said: “We are delighted to announce the expansion of our operations from the UK’s second largest city – with 8 million people living within 60 minutes of the airport, Birmingham is an important area of development for us.

“We now serve Stockholm directly from London Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh (seasonal service) and now Birmingham closing up the geographic gap that we had in the area. This is giving us the opportunity to better serve West & East Midlands businesses as well as leisure communities.”

Martyn Lloyd, Commercial Director at Birmingham Airport: said, “We’re delighted that SAS has recognised the need for services to Stockholm for Midlands’ business and leisure travellers and has taken the decision to expand its route network from Birmingham Airport. We look forward to launching the new service this winter and providing regular services to Sweden’s wonderful capital city.”

The daily flights to Stockholm will operate on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday and prices start from £104, one-way including all taxes and charges.
