SAS adds more Aberdeen-Norway flights

SAS has announced plans to boost its current flights between Aberdeen and Stavanger and Bergen in Norway.

Four extra weekly return services between Aberdeen and Stavanger will take place from October 29th, while one additional flight from Bergen to Aberdeen will also be launched from the same date, reports breakingtravelnews.com.

Lars-Ove Filipson, SAS general manager for UK and Ireland, said that the increase in flights was due to high demand for early morning and late evening services.

"These new services will bring advantages to both business and leisure travellers from around the UK, providing efficient business links to the oil and gas industry of Stavanger and Bergen and the surrounding area, as well as opening up the picturesque fjords to holidaymakers," he added.

Earlier this year, the airline announced new routes between London City Airport and Oslo, and between Gatwick Airport and Aalesund.

It also launched a new service between Glasgow and Stockholm in April.
