I suspect that ARN-BOS would struggle and that there is more business pairing between CPH and BOS than between ARN and BOS. ARN-IAD may have more going for it than ARN-BOS, but given CPH-IAD matters more than ARN and the risk of cannibalizing its CPH-IAD flight, ARN-IAD would also struggle.

CPH-ATL makes more sense for Delta than for SAS. And do you recall how DL did with CPH-ATL? Delta didn’t consider it much of a winner.
