SAS Scandinavian Airlines Hub System
SAS Scandinavian Airlines, also known as SAS, operates with a hub system that includes multiple bases of operations and hub airports. The airline has its main base at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, which serves as its primary hub. In addition to Copenhagen, SAS also has secondary hubs at Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden and Oslo Airport, Gardermoen in Norway.
These hub airports play a crucial role in SAS's operations, serving as major connecting points for both domestic and international flights. They provide convenient transfer opportunities for passengers traveling between different destinations within SAS's extensive network.
The history of SAS's hub system dates back to the airline's establishment in 1946. Initially, SAS operated with a decentralized system, with each Scandinavian country having its own national airline. However, in 1951, the three national airlines of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway merged to form SAS Scandinavian Airlines. This merger led to the development of a hub system, allowing the airline to streamline its operations and improve connectivity across the region.
