The expanded partnership encompasses Sunweb’s Airtours operations in Sweden, seamlessly integrating them into the broader arrangement. This strategic move reflects the robust growth experienced by both SAS and Sunweb, underscoring the increasing demand for charter flights to popular holiday destinations.

The airline will utilize its modern and fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo fleet for these flights, emphasizing SAS’s dedication to environmental responsibility and passenger comfort.
