Starting June 2nd, 2026, the year-round route – which is still subject to final government approval – would offer five flights a week in each direction between Copenhagen and Mumbai, one of the main financial hubs in India.
It would be the airline’s first direct flight to India in 17 years.
“With strong Scandinavian business ties in the region and growing travel demand, this route is a strategically important addition to SAS’ network – strengthening our global relevance and expanding our reach,” said SAS in a statement.
It’s good news for leisure and business travellers based in Denmark and southern Sweden, but SAS said it hoped the route would also offer improved transfers between India and other destinations in Scandinavia, Europe and North America.
“India is a key global market – both in terms of growing demand and economic importance. With this new route, SAS contributes to strengthening Copenhagen’s role as a global hub while supporting increased connectivity between India and Northern Europe, as well as between India and North America,” said SAS President and CEO Anko van der Werff.
“Mumbai is a natural next step in our strategy to link Scandinavia with one of the world’s most important regions for business and leisure travel.”
The Airbus A330 would take off from Copenhagen at 1.30pm on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, landing in Mumbai at 1.30am.
In the other direction, it would leave Mumbai at 6am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, arriving in Copenhagen at 11.45am.
