Scandinavian Airlines has joined SkyTeam as of today, September 1st.
After leaving Star Alliance on August 31, where it was one of the five founding members, it has joined SkyTeam, which includes Air France KLM among its shareholders.
Scandinavian Airlines is set to enhance its network to Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, extending its reach through code-sharing operations with Air France KLM, as well as planning for further code-share developments with other SkyTeam member airlines.
Gold and Diamond members of Scandinavian Airlines’ frequent flyer program, EuroBonus, will now receive SkyTeam Elite Plus status, allowing them to enjoy SkyPriority services across all SkyTeam member airlines. Silver members will attain SkyTeam Elite status.
With this, SkyTeam now covers over 1,060 cities worldwide, adding the world’s southernmost commercial airport in Ushuaia, Argentina, and the northernmost in Svalbard, Norway, to its network.
Founded in 1946, Scandinavian Airlines operates with Copenhagen as its main hub, and Oslo and Stockholm as additional hubs. It serves over 25 million passengers annually, with a network spanning 135 cities across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
