Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has announced it will cancel its Tel Aviv-Copenhagen, citing both “political instability” and ‘’increasing costs and competition.”
The service, which is offered four times a week and which began three years ago, will end in March following a temporary suspension this summer because of staffing problems.
SAS also said it will eliminate Moscow and Ankara from its list of destinations.
Traffic on the Tel Aviv-Copenhagen route increased 41 percent last year and another 21 percent this year, through July, but the company maintained that the route still is losing money because of “stiff competition.”
