- SAS canceled direct flights to Copenhagen from Tel Aviv.
- The route was set to resume on October 26.
- No official reason was given for the cancellation.
- This is the second last-minute cancellation by SAS.
- The move contrasts with other airlines expanding services to Israel.
Scandinavian airline SAS has unexpectedly halted ticket sales for its direct route between Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and Copenhagen, just weeks before its scheduled resumption. The route, slated to restart on October 26 with four weekly flights, saw ticket purchasing options removed from the company's website two days prior. Passengers seeking to travel to Northern Europe will now need to book indirect flights connecting through other European cities.
SAS has not provided an official reason for the cancellation. This marks the second time SAS has abruptly canceled its return to Israel; a planned resumption in October 2025 was also called off at the last minute. The airline's withdrawal comes despite a broader recovery trend within the Israeli aviation sector. For instance, Air Canada has expedited its return to Israel by two months, planning to operate four weekly flights to Toronto starting in late November.
