Scandinavian Airlines is starting its new direct route between Humberside and Copenhagen.

The flights to Copenhagen will operate once a day, five days a week – Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

The Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce chief executive, Ian Kelly said: “The Chamber is very pleased that Scandinavian Airlines has chosen Humberside International Airport for its new direct route to Copenhagen and Scandinavia.

“To have a flag carrier like SAS representing Denmark, Norway and Sweden flying daily into Humberside is a great vote of support for business in the Humber region.

“This new daily route will be a great asset to firms whose staff travel, not just to Scandinavia, but the wider world, thanks to the great onward connection options.”
