Responding directly to growing passenger demand for premium travel service, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has launched its brand-new European Business Class.
This significant cabin upgrade establishes a distinct and easily recognizable premium travel option.
It will cater to customers prioritizing comfort, flexibility, and an elevated level of service on their European journeys.
This strategic move strengthens SAS’s competitive edge within the European aviation market and significantly enhances the overall customer experience.
Introducing European Business Class
By introducing a dedicated Business Class product, SAS aims to attract a greater number of both regional and international premium travelers. It seeks to capitalise on market demand from the premium travel segment.
Furthermore, this launch aligns perfectly with SAS’s long-term strategic goals, reinforcing Copenhagen’s vital role as a key global hub for Scandinavian and European connectivity.
The new Business Class will also simplify connections and provide a more unified and consistent experience for passengers traveling across various Star Alliance member airlines.
Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, emphasized the importance of this development. “Many of our passengers who prioritize comfort and quality have expressed the need for a clearly defined European Business Class that meets established international standards.”
“While our existing SAS Plus offered an improved experience, it lacked the clear recognition and understanding that discerning travelers seek. By reintroducing European Business Class, we are ensuring that SAS delivers the premium experience expected of a top-tier European airline.”
The new European Business Class will be available on all SAS international European flights, encompassing routes within Scandinavia, with ticket sales commencing on May 6th.
Premium Cabin Benefits
Passengers opting for this premium cabin can anticipate a range of enhanced inflight benefits.
Elevated Dining Experience: A completely redesigned Food & Beverage concept will offer a more premium and adaptable dining experience. This includes the use of elegant, reusable porcelain tableware, catering to the diverse culinary preferences of SAS Business Class travelers.
Exclusive Cabin Area: Business Class passengers will enjoy a dedicated section at the front of the aircraft, clearly separated by a curtain and overhead divider, creating a more intimate and exclusive atmosphere.
Guaranteed Space and Privacy: The assurance of blocked middle seats provides passengers with significantly more personal space. It allows enhanced privacy throughout their flight.
Priority Ground Services: A seamless and premium travel experience is ensured from the moment of arrival at the airport. There is dedicated priority check-in, priority boarding privileges, and access to a wider selection of airport lounges.
In addition to enhancing the passenger experience, SAS’s new food offering demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability.
The initiative focuses on reducing food waste, increasing the sourcing of local ingredients, and replacing single-use plastics with environmentally friendly compostable materials.
The prominent shift to durable and reusable porcelain tableware further underscores SAS’s dedication to a more sustainable future of air travel.
Each year, SAS serves more than 25 million passengers and transports 60,000 tons of cargo to 135 destinations across Europe, the USA, and Asia.
