Star Alliance will continue its tradition of exceptional  global connectivity in Scandinavia  

Since its founding in 1997, Star Alliance and its member airlines have maintained a  significant presence in Northern Europe. Loyal customers who travel to and from  Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have come to appreciate the many benefits of the  superior customer experience and loyalty reciprocation that Star Alliance member  airlines proudly provide globally, and in Scandinavia.

SAS Scandinavian Airlines plans to exit Star Alliance on August 31, 2024. On behalf of our  member airlines, we thank SAS and its employees for contributing to the superior  customer experience for which Star Alliance is globally renowned.

During this transition, the experience of our customers is top of mind. Star Alliance, its  member airlines, and SAS intend to ensure that this change is seamless for customers,  particularly with respect to previously booked flights. Members of frequent flyer  programs should consult their individual airline programs directly with specific questions  related to mileage accrual and redemption for travel within the Star Alliance network.

Going forward, 17 Star Alliance member airlines will continue to offer direct flights to and  from Scandinavia, including Aegean Airlines, Air Canada, Air China, Air India, Austrian,  Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EgyptAir, Ethiopian Airlines, LOT Pol ish Airlines,  Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Swiss, TAP Air Portugal, Thai, Turkish Airlines, and United.  These Star Alliance member airlines will operate more than 3,700 flights per month to  Scandinavia from 23 hubs worldwide, offering customers connections to more than  1,100 international destinations — the most by any airline alliance. In the future, Star  Alliance member airlines may bring additional service to Scandinavia.

On September 1, Star Alliance will have 25 member airlines dedicated to fulfilling and  enhancing their customers’ global journeys. Star Alliance continues to hold its position  as the world’s largest and foremost global airline alliance, providing over 17,000 daily departures and serving more than 1,100 airports across 187 countries. In Scandinavia,  Star Alliance and its member airlines will continue to provide customers with a wide  choice of travel options and focus on delivering a superior customer experience.
