Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has announced the return of its European Business Class service beginning October 1.

The new European Business Class will be available on all international European routes, including flights within Scandinavia.

Enhanced Premium Experience

Business Class passengers can look forward to several elevated amenities and services:

  • Premium Dining Experience: A completely revamped food and beverage concept offering greater flexibility and quality, served with elegant reusable porcelain tableware
  • Dedicated Cabin Space: A separate section at the front of the aircraft, distinctly marked with curtains and overhead dividers
  • Priority Services: Comprehensive VIP treatment including dedicated check-in counters, priority boarding privileges, and expanded lounge access across SAS’ network

Strategic Business Move

“Many of our comfort- and quality-focused travelers expect a clearly defined European Business Class that aligns with international standards,” explained Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS.

“While SAS Plus has provided an upgraded experience, it has lacked the recognition and clarity that travelers seek. With the reintroduction of European Business Class, we are ensuring that SAS offers the premium experience of a top European airline.”

Sustainability

The updated food offerings aim to minimise food waste and enhance the use of locally sourced ingredients. Single use plastics are being replaced with compostable materials, and the shift to reusable porcelain tableware further demonstrates the airline’s environmental responsibility.

Tickets for the new Business Class will be available for purchase beginning May 6.
