New Airbus
I've heard from SAS sales employee, that the new airbus will only fly on CPH-Delhi in first months after introduction in SEP2001. Do anyone have other details or plan for introduction..

Hmm. Interesting. I was under the impression that it would be used for the Atlantic routes. Well, I'm out of upgrade coupons at present so who cares

I would think CPH-SIN was in need of capacity urgently...

I think it is because they only recieve one 340 in the beginning, and they only fly that route 5 days a week. Then they have time for airplane checkups.
Maybe they need the extra seats on the route because Air India's route to Copenhagen is on that plane too
