About

Scandinavian Airlines Ireland, commonly referred to as SAS Ireland or — less often — SAIL is an Irish airline that offers scheduled passenger flights on behalf of its parent company, SAS Scandinavian Airlines. Despite technically being an Irish airline, SAS Ireland is based at both London Heathrow and Malaga airports from where it flies to several destinations throughout Europe.

Scandinavian Airlines Ireland was founded in 2017. The airline was launched by SAS to allow the airline to compete with other European airlines that offer low-cost, short-haul flights such as Norwegian, easyJet, Ryanair, while the parent carrier continued to focus on other international routes outside of Scandinavia.

Destinations

SAS Ireland offers flights to several destinations within Europe from its bases in London and Malaga. Some of its most popular destinations include Scandinavian cities such as Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo and others.

Despite being based in London and Malaga, the airline also offers flights between different destinations as well. For example, one of its more popular routes flies between Oslo and Stockholm.
