SAS EuroBonus - Traffic from CPH to the US up by 30%

According to the June, July and August figures, CPH can show a 30% increase on traffic to the US, the exact capacity added by DL and CO... I guess SK's US strategy has failed completely!

When CO can fill an uncomfortable, single aisle 757 to EWR and DL can fill a 767 to a useless destination, both on non *A airlines, SAS can definitely fill a couple of new routes. There's a huge all over growth all over Scandinavia this year, fuel prices are dropping and SAS is missing out!

SK could have opened up CPH-SFO/LAX/evening flight to EWR, MIA seasonal.

I'd have liked to see more SAS intercontinental service, but perhaps they are afraid of capital requirements related to adding additional service?

Hear hear! Would prefer OSL-SFO, or ARN-SFO, rather than CPH, tho...
Why SK's still neglecting the Scandinavian(-american) IT industry is to me a puzzle.. :confused:

Me 2. I'm flying to SFO 2-3 times a year for meetings around SFO from OSL and don't want to connect AGAIN in IAD or ORD to fly SAS. I do LHR-SFO or FRA-ORD

Have to be honest and say I don't care where the SK SFO flight leaves from.

SAS used to fly down to India, can't remember if it was Delhi or Mumbai. Given the growth in that market it is worth considering.

It just needs a bit of forward vision, sorting out the cost overheads within SAS, realistic fare structures, reinvented economy and business class in Europe, oh and getting rid of the 25% EB earnings.

SAS's CPH-Delhi flight is something I used to do very often until SAS pulled it. It's evening departure from CPH and morning arrival in DEL was great for me. SK's 2002 exit from Delhi was early.

Yeah I just returned from the LH flight to BLR... As always jam-packed full, as are all the LH India destinations. A regular (holy? ;) ) Cashcow for LH. Why SK chose to retract from what should obviously be a very profitable route is puzzling, as is the deletion of the one flight all business-folk loved: The late evening CPH-EWR flight... perfect connection - no rush hour traffic and minimum jetlag. And an extra US westcoast flight seems fairly obvious- so really hope SK will dip into their pockets and lease those AC planes soon.... as they probably wont buy any of their own....

P.S. (Slightly OT) ... here is what a real lie-flat C-class experience should be like (not to mention the F-class.... http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/whatonboard/previewthenewseats

SK DEL flight made nil profit, due to a rather silly sales approach: most tickets were severely discounted, sold thru consolidators. Lots of connecting passengers from LHR, up to 50-60 at times, with inordinate amount of bags and very very cheap tickets...not good.
Would love to see a LAX or SFO departure...

I'd heard that too, but didn't realize the consolidator approach was the one they most heavily relied upon. The SK biz cabin didn't seem to be filling up most of the time then either, but coach did seem to oversell on certain dates. (UA really loved to re-route people onto that SK flight after UA pulled out of DEL in September '01. Did any of that come your way at LHR?)
