Frequently Asked Questions
Is SAS Cargo still operating after joining Air France-KLM?
Yes, SAS continues to operate its cargo services. The integration with Air France-KLM Group has expanded SAS Cargo’s global reach through network synergies, allowing shipments to connect through Amsterdam (AMS) and Paris (CDG) hubs alongside the Nordic network.
Does SAS have dedicated freighter aircraft?
SAS operates belly-hold cargo only, primarily on their A350 and A330neo long-haul fleet. For large cargo volumes requiring dedicated freighter capacity, SAS Cargo can arrange interline transport via partner airlines.
What is SAS Cargo’s advantage for Nordic shipments?
SAS offers the most extensive Nordic network, including routes to smaller Scandinavian cities not served by other international carriers. Their domestic Scandinavian flights provide same-day delivery between Nordic capitals, and the three-hub model ensures geographic coverage.
