South African Airways (SAA) and Scandinavian
Airlines (SAS) have signed a code share agreement which will add
significantly to the travel choices the two airlines have on offer.
Scandinavian Airlines, a Star Alliance member like
SAA, will code share on flights via SAA’s three important European
gateways: London, Munich and Frankfurt, to allow passengers to connect
from these gateways to various Scandinavian destinations, such as
Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Gothenburg. |

SAA passengers travelling on Scandinavian Airlines
will be able to connect from the Scandinavian destinations via
Frankfurt, London and Munich. They will then be able to fly on SAA
aircraft to Johannesburg, and Cape Town.
This code share agreement is effective from 10 November. The two
airlines will not have a pre-determined limit on the number of seats
each will be able to sell on the other airline. Both airlines will be
able to accumulate and use their frequent flyer miles.
“We are very pleased with this new partnership as it allows us to grow
our international route network even further by using our European
gateways. With this partnership we add to the travel options of our
customers, as well as to customers flying with SAS,” says Rushj Lehutso,
SAA GM of commercial.
SAA is the only Star Alliance member airline based in Africa and offers
an exclusive product with a truly African travel experience. The Star
Alliance offers more than 16 000 daily flights to 855 destinations in
155 countries.
