Known irregularities and temporary changes

If your flight is canceled you are entitled to a refund. If you bought your ticket from a Travel Agent, please contact them.

When travelling to, from or via Copenhagen we kindly ask you to keep updated regarding the status of your flight.

Current situation in Ukraine

Due to the current situation in the region SAS has decided to pause all flights to Ukraine and Ukraine airspace until further notice.

Due to the closure of Russian airspace, SAS has decided to pause all flights between Denmark and Japan until end of March 2023.

As a consequence of the closure of Russian airspace, we are also making changes to routings for our flights to China resulting in longer flight times of approx. 2 hours.

The safety of passengers and employees always comes first for SAS. We are monitoring the situation closely and will update new information on this page.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and do our best to minimize the effects to you.

Chapter 11

SAS and certain of its subsidiaries have voluntarily filed for chapter 11, a legal process for financial restructuring in the U.S. that will enable us to accelerate the implementation of key elements of our transformation plan, SAS FORWARD.

Our operations will continue as usual during this process and it will have no impact on our customers.

 Due to the current development of African Swine Fever, please note the following:

  • Do not transport pigs or products of pig origin. If you do, you must report it to the transport authorities.

  • Be sure to dispose of your leftover meals in suitable and closed bins.

There is currently no vaccine for African Swine Fever in Europe, so prevention measures are the only way to stop the spread of this, for pigs, deadly disease.
