SAS EuroBonus - 3 new routes

In winter 2012/13 SAS is resuming 2 routes to Spain: Copenhagen – Alicante and Gothenburg – Malaga. First flight 03NOV12. Saturdays only. MD81/B737 A/C.

On 29OCT a new daily route (except saturday) will be opened between Copenhagen and Lodz (Poland). Operated by Cimber CRJ 200.

CPH-ALC will be operated all year according to a SAS press release from today. And so will CPH-AGP.

It seems to me that this is more of a summer route. At least from KRS the flight to ALC is flown only during the summer. So why are they starting the route out of CPH in the winter. Why not start it now, during the summer?

Also opening a twice weekly route CPH - Beirut from jan13

This info has later monday been denied by SAS. The carrier has desribed the loading into to reservation system as a "human mistake".

The short lived info from the reservation system:

"Copenhagen – Beirut eff 02JAN13
SK2827 CPH0900 – 1405BEY 321 36
SK2828 BEY1505 – 1840CPH 321 36

Service also operates with A319 on selected days"

This indicates, that there in fact are plans, but that they got out premature.

Regardless the reason, loading new flights before announcing it isn't really SAS' "style", unlike other airlines. Most likely they'll announce it in few days and flights will be reloaded into the GDS. This happened to few airlines before, including flight cancellations.

It was loaded into the system and OAG database on Saturday morning at 4am UK time (02JUN12) and deleted early monday around 8am.

If only they flew to Lisbon as well :)

More routes being added....
