Bodø and the Salten region have exciting news to celebrate—another new direct route is coming to Bodø Airport, enhancing international connectivity.

Starting May 19, 2025, SAS will launch a direct route from Bodø to Copenhagen, available throughout the summer season. This new addition will not only offer travelers a wonderful vacation destination but also access to one of Europe’s largest hubs, connecting Bodø to the rest of the world.

Kristin Haugen, the acting manager appointed CEO of BLU Aviation, expressed her enthusiasm: “This is a great milestone for Bodø. Direct routes like this not only boost tourism but also strengthen business ties across Europe. It’s a win for the entire region.”

The route is set to operate twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, offering travelers the comfort of flying aboard the modern Airbus 320 NEO. This announcement follows the introduction of other exciting routes, including the Bodø-Munich connection.

Kim J. Andreassen, project manager at BLU, believes this initiative will enhance the region’s appeal: “In addition to our work at BLU, we are focused on positioning the region as an attractive destination to live and work. Strengthening Bodø’s connectivity will make it easier for people to choose to relocate here, as staying connected with their home country or birthplace becomes much more convenient.”

With more direct flights, Bodø continues to solidify its position as a key hub in Northern Norway, making travel to and from the region easier than ever.
