Just spend some time trying to map out historical SK IC routes. Thought it might be interesting for other FT’ers as well.

I was struck by how innovative SAS was in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Quite an extensive route network a various points of time. Imagine travelling to TYO with 7 stops - a trip of almost 40 hours. Or a “run” to JNB with just five stops.

Below please find a list of what I have been able to identify. I have mainly used www.sasgroup.net and www.sasflightops.com and http://www.travelmarket.dk/business/...arMonth=200811 as sources. I have focused on IC destinations only and I have not included cargo only routes.

I have tried to apply the final destination as the reference point, and thus not considered more technical stops in eg. SFJ and YWG on the SEA and LAX routes as destinations in their own right. Although this can be argued. Further several of the earlier IC routes had connections in Scandinavia before heading out to concur the world.

I likely do not have all routes and variations and inaugural years have way easier to find than termination year. Please do not hesitate to add and comment. To my knowledge destinations such as Toronto and Santiago de Chile have also been served, but I could not find the facts

Bold indicates current route.
