Scandinavian Airlines, or SAS, returns to Ukraine next month, launching direct flights between Oslo and Kyiv Boryspil on Oct. 26. By eliminating stopovers, SAS will cut the flight time in half, to 2h20min. Prior to 2014, SAS flew between the two capitals. With Ukraine’s visa-free regime extending to Norway, SAS hopes to generate enough tourist and business travelers to justify its schedule of three flights a week. UIA flies from Kyiv Boryspil to three other Nordic capitals – Copenhagen, Helsinki and Stockholm. Wizz Air flies from Kyiv Sikorsky to two Danish cities – Billund and Copenhagen.
