Indeed, but only if SAS can serve the market easily and profitably.

Keep in mind what has happened to SK service to Bangkok, a market where it was such a leader that even the creation of Thai (TG) is due to SAS.

And with DY heavily involved already with Scandinavia-Florida traffic, SK may have its work cut out for it. A lot of the Scandinavian MIA traffic is really less about visiting just MIA than it is about visiting elsewhere in Florida even when using Miami as the U.S. POE.
