SAS Commuter

SAS Commuter, later branded Scandinavian Commuter was a regional airline created by Scandinavian Airlines parent companies Det Norske Luftfartsselskap, Det Danske Luftfartsselskap og Aerotransport on December 1, 1988. It was merged with the new airlines Scandinavian Airlines Denmark, Scandinavian Airlines Sweden and SAS Braathens in 2004. Its head office was in Kastrup, Tårnby Municipality, Denmark.

The airline operated under four brand names

  • Eurolink served the SAS' hub Copenhagen Airport on short-haul routes too small for jet operation.
  • Norlink operated in Northern Norway on regional non-subsidy routes. The routes were transferred to Widerøe in 2003.
  • Swelink operated regional routes in Sweden.
  • Westlink took over the regional routes on the Norwegian West Coast in 2003, after SAS bought Braathens.

Though the operations of Westlink are merged with SAS Braathens, the SAS Group has said they want to merge the Norwegian regional operations with Widerøe.
