SAS Scandinavian Airlines will resume flights to Dubai, with the opening of a new route between Copenhagen and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport DWC. The route will launch in October 2026 as part of the company's winter flight schedule.
The move is part of Dubai's aviation expansion plans, with Dubai Airports stressing that DWC plays a key role in the emirate's next phase of aviation growth. Designed with future expansion in mind, the airport offers efficient screening processes, convenient access, and a fast transit experience for passengers.

The airport is expected to continue to see significant increases in international activity in the coming years, as part of preparations for increased demand. SAS's return to Dubai strengthens the connection between Scandinavia and the Gulf, offering another option for passengers between Northern Europe and the UAE at a time when many airlines are re-examining their strategic destinations for the winter season.
