SAS will resume the direct route from Oslo to New York on 3 July. The route Oslo – New York starts with two weekly round trips, departing from Oslo on Wednesday and Saturday and returning on Thursday and Sunday. The route opens up for easy access to both metropolitan experiences in New York and further travel to the rest of the United States with Newark Liberty International Airport’s many transfer options.
“It is very gratifying for SAS that we can now resume intercontinental direct routes with an attractive timetable from Oslo. Many are looking forward to visiting family and friends in the United States and our customers have requested this particular route. The New York route will also be important for Norwegian fish exports, ” says Executive Vice President and Norwegian CEO Kjetil Håbjørg.
