# SAS to launch Copenhagen-Mumbai flights from October 1 2026-08-17T16:33:56+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) will launch non-stop flights between Copenhagen and Mumbai from October 1, after securing all regulatory approvals. The airline had originally planned to start the service on June 2, ending a 17-year gap, but the inaugural flight was forced to return to Copenhagen after eight hours because the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approval was not in place. The airline will operate five times a week on the route, offering onward connections to destinations in Europe and North America. Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, called the route an extraordinary milestone that opens doors between Scandinavia and one of the world's most dynamic economic hubs. The service is now confirmed to begin on October 1, subject to all clearances being finalised. ## Coverage - thehindubusinessline.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
