Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is set to strengthen its presence in the Bosnia and Herzegovina by increasing the number of flights between Copenhagen and Sarajevo during the peak summer travel period. Throughout the month of August, the airline will operate four weekly flights on the route, responding to strong seasonal demand and growing passenger interest between Denmark and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The additional services represent a notable capacity increase compared to last year. During the 2026 summer season, SAS will operate a total of 128 flights between the Danish and Bosnian capitals, up from 104 flights operated in the previous year. This expansion underlines the airline’s confidence in the route, which traditionally benefits from a mix of leisure travelers, diaspora traffic, and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) demand during the summer months.
Copenhagen–Sarajevo has become an increasingly competitive market, with SAS facing direct competition from Norwegian Air. Norwegian currently operates two weekly flights on the route, offering travelers an alternative low-cost option. By increasing frequencies in August, SAS is aiming to maintain a strong market position and provide passengers with greater flexibility in travel dates and connections via its Copenhagen hub.
With the added August frequencies, SAS continues to signal its commitment to the Copenhagen–Sarajevo route, while intensifying competition with Norwegian Air during the busiest part of the summer season. The increased capacity is expected to support tourism flows and strengthen ties between Denmark and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
