Due to the coronavirus and the measures implemented by national authorities, the demand for air travel is essentially non-existent. SAS has therefore decided to put most of its operations on hold, starting Monday March 16 and until necessary prerequisites for commercial air traffic returns. 

To support our customers, we will in the next few days do our utmost to uphold a certain level of operation to enable travelers to return from their destinations.

Information regarding the traffic situation and specific flights will be constantly updated on our website. Affected passengers will be notified.

When your flight is cancelled, we will contact you personally via SMS and/or e-mail. As the number of cancelled flights is high, we cancel the flights from our systems and send the cancellation messages gradually. This means it might take some time before you receive the message about your cancelled flight.
