SAS Resumes Copenhagen to Tel Aviv Flights
After almost a decade of playing hard-to-get, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has decided it’s time for a comeback. Starting late October 2025, SAS will resume direct flights between Copenhagen and Tel Aviv. That’s right—nine long years after halting the route in 2016, you’ll finally be able to hop on a plane from Denmark straight to the beaches and hummus bowls of Israel.
Three Flights a Week, Because Balance Is Key
SAS isn’t overdoing it—they’re dipping their toes back into Tel Aviv with three weekly flights. It’s just enough to make travel plans exciting, without feeling like they’re moving in permanently. And honestly, three is perfect: one flight for business, one for pleasure, and one for that “I swear this is the last vacation before Christmas” moment.

SAS: Scandinavia’s Travel MVP
For anyone who needs a refresher, SAS is the flag carrier for Denmark, Norway, and Sweden—the ultimate Nordic trio. With hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, SAS flies to over 125 destinations worldwide. So this isn’t just any airline making a comeback; it’s basically the travel team captain of Scandinavia saying, “Alright Tel Aviv, let’s do this again.”
The Tel Aviv Route Is Hot Again
This isn’t just SAS jumping on a trend—it’s part of a bigger picture. After the recent conflict with Iran, international airlines are flocking back to Israel like tourists to a beach bar. Lufthansa has already reinstated multiple daily flights, Air Europa is running six per week from Madrid, and airBaltic is restarting Riga–Tel Aviv service in September 2025.
Basically, Tel Aviv’s skies are starting to look like rush hour in Stockholm.
What This Means for Travelers
More airlines = more competition = better deals. SAS entering the scene means travelers from northern Europe now have more options (and hopefully fewer chances of sitting in the dreaded middle seat). Whether you’re after sunshine, nightlife, or just want to finally say “yes, I’ve been to Tel Aviv,” this new route is a win.
So if you’ve been waiting for Scandinavia to reconnect with Israel, your moment has arrived. Dust off your sunglasses, brush up on your Hebrew greetings, and get ready—Tel Aviv is officially back on the Scandinavian map.
