SAS dismantles route to Bangkok

It is not official yet , but according to TakeOff.dk, the decision has been taking. SAS stops its route Copenhagen - Bangkok by the end of Marts 2013.

It is hard competition and low rate of business travelers, that course the decision. Only around 25 to 30 percent of travelers on the route is business travelers. The rest are price-conscious tourists and competition from Middle Eastern airlines has made it difficult for SAS to make money on the route.

I appreciate people wanting to fly non-stop however it's unfair to simply say lack of business travellers on the route and you cheap passengers wont pay enough so we are pulling service. A few logical points, SAS business class is certainly not up to ME airlines, their spoke and hub clearly lacks lift from North America & Europe to feed its BKK run, cargo I suspect isn't that strong & finally they are Star Alliance and TG will be dropping huge birds A380's into connecting points SAS serves (FRA LHR we hope) and TG probably gave a pro-rate that makes the route less profitable and they are making a business decision to deploy their metal elsewhere-rant over.
