Reservations open June 2 for SAS electric flights in 2028

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) opens seat reservations on June 2 this year for its first commercial electric flights in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark in five years’ time.

“SAS invites travellers to join in writing this next chapter in aviation history with 30 seats available for reservation on each of the three inaugural flights – which are expected to take place during the course of 2028,” the airline says.

SAS’ goal is net-zero emissions by 2050, and it plans to use electric aircraft on shorter trips.

“Since its inception in 1946, SAS has been one of the pioneers in the airline industry, being for instance the first commercial airline operator to fly over the North Pole to significantly shorten flight time between continents,” says SAS president and chief executive Anko van der Werff.

“The fact that we can now invite our passengers to the next major milestone in the future of aviation is a natural continuation of that pioneering spirit and a significant step on our journey towards more sustainable aviation.”

Heart Aerospace will produce the electric aircraft for SAS.

Tickets for the inaugural flight will be SEK1946 (NZ$298.24) – a tribute to the year when SAS first started flying.
