SAS Cargo will launch flights to two new intercontinental destinations in October 2008.
Kenneth Marx, president and CEO for SAS Cargo Group said for quite some time the company has been looking for the right solution for customers with a need for direct air cargo transport between India and Scandinavia.
He said the opening of San Francisco as a new destination will be good news to the customers because the company already has quite some tonnage between Scandinavia and the American West Coast.
According to the plan, SAS will start with four weekly departures between Copenhagen and India and three weekly departures between Copenhagen and San Francisco.
These new routes will not affect SAS' current route network since the airline will add another Airbus A340 to the fleet. On average an Airbus A340 can be loaded with approximately 15 tonnes cargo per trip.
