PARIS — Starting Sept. 1 Air France and KLM passengers will gain access to 33 destinations in Northern Europe beyond SAS’s hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, thanks to codeshare and interline agreements signed by Air France-KLM and SAS.

Meanwhile SAS customers will gain access to 33 European destinations beyond Air France and KLM’s hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and Amsterdam Schiphol airport.

The interline agreement covers the European network of Air France, KLM and SAS, and Air France, KLM and SAS passengers will be able to earn and spend Miles/Points through the Flying Blue and EuroBonus loyalty programs.

The carriers say intercontinental destinations will be added to the agreement in the near future.

“These agreements mark an important step towards a close commercial cooperation between Air France, KLM and SAS,” said Angus Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Air France-KLM. “By connecting our networks and hubs, our customers will benefit from a broad range of European destinations and high-quality services. We look forward to further developing this relationship and to strengthening our position in the Scandinavian region.”

Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, said: “We are proud to launch codeshare flights with our future SkyTeam partner Air France-KLM, enhancing our connectivity and offering greater benefits to our loyal customers. The collaboration with Air France-KLM holds great opportunities. It will not only attract new passengers to SAS, but also elevate the SAS’ global visibility and connectivity.”

Air France and KLM operate up to 200 weekly flights between their hubs – at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and Amsterdam Schiphol airport – and SAS’s hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.

SAS currently operates up to 44 weekly flights to Paris-Charles de Gaulle from Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, and 65 to Amsterdam Schiphol airport.

Reservations are now open via all distribution channels for flights departing as of Sept. 1.
