New SAS route to Wroclaw, Poland

“Poland is an important trading partner for Denmark and the ninth-biggest Danish export market. It is essential to Danish companies to have good and frequent flight connections to Poland. As Wroclaw is an important industrial city, Danish business people will benefit greatly from the new service, which concurrently strengthens Copenhagen Airport’s position as a northern European hub, said Ole Wieth Christensen, Director of Airline Sales & Route Development for Copenhagen Airports.

A number of international companies have production, development and other activities in Wroclaw, including Volvo, Toyota, Bosch, LG Electronics, 3M, HP and Whirlpool, and the city’s technology park is also home to a large number of IT, biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

One of the host cities of the European soccer championship
The historic city attracts many tourists, and the opening of the new service is also good news to soccer devotees, as Wroclaw will be one of the host cities of the European soccer championship.

“We are pleased to offer a non-stop service to one of the fastest growing cities in central Europe. Wroclaw features both high technology and beautiful architecture, and we look forward to welcoming passengers on our flights to this new destination, said Per Møller Jensen, Vice President, Brand, Marketing & EuroBonus for SAS.

Forty-two weekly flights to Poland
SAS flies to Wroclaw four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, leaving Copenhagen at 11:15 a.m. and Wrocław at 1:00 p.m. The flying time to Wroclaw is one hour and 20 minutes, and SAS uses CRJ200 flights seating 50 passengers on the service.
