Summary[edit]

Description

Scandinavian Air System (SAS), jointly run by Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, currently does not service Los Angeles. SAS passengers heading for Los Angeles must transfer to Star Alliance partner United at Chicago O'Hare, Newark, or London Heathrow. But in the past, SAS did bring its own planes to Los Angeles.

In fact, when SAS inaugurated its Los Angeles service using the DC-8, it was Los Angeles's first polar route. The long range of the DC-8 allowed nonstop service to Seattle and continuation to Los Angeles, saving a lot of distance over the more traditional routing over the North Atlantic.
