In 2026, SAS will mark the anniversary through various initiatives that focus on the company&#039;s heritage and role in connecting people, businesses and communities.<br>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year marks 80 years since SAS operated its first intercontinental flight, on September 17, 1946, between Stockholm and New York \u2013 a route that brought Scandinavia closer to the outside world. Today, SAS connects Scandinavia with destinations in Europe, North America and Asia, with Copenhagen as its main international hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelreport.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8aa66e4571ad5e9e_800x800ar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-303150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelreport.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8aa66e4571ad5e9e_800x800ar.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelreport.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8aa66e4571ad5e9e_800x800ar-600x353.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.travelreport.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/8aa66e4571ad5e9e_800x800ar-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To kick off the celebration, SAS is presenting a specially painted Airbus A330-300. The aircraft is part of the company&#039;s long-haul fleet, which includes eight Airbus A330-300s with 266 seats and modern Airbus A350 aircraft, which together operate SAS&#039;s intercontinental network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new design means that for the first time the entire aircraft is in SAS&#039;s iconic blue colour. The Scandinavian flag has been updated as a reference to the 1980s painting and is complemented by a new anniversary symbol inspired by the aircraft&#039;s engines and fuselage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>For 80 years, SAS has helped develop aviation and brought Scandinavia closer to the world with safe and reliable flights,\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>says Anko van der Werff, President and CEO of SAS<em>. \u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<em>From our first transatlantic flight to today, we have had the same mission.
