Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) this evening operates the first of its new thrice-weekly SK 2616 rotations from Geneva to Stockholm Arlanda, departing 21:00 and arriving 23:35. The schedule—introduced expressly for corporate travellers—allows Swiss-based executives to finish the workday before flying north and to return on the early-morning SK 2615 the next day, minimising hotel nights. Geneva Airport authorities expect the service to stimulate demand from UN agencies, private-banking teams and Med-Tech firms clustered around Lake Geneva who maintain R&D sites in Sweden’s capital region. For mobility managers the route fills a long-standing connectivity gap: until now, most travellers linked via Copenhagen or Frankfurt, adding at least three hours per leg. The non-stop also eases compliance with EU Posted-Workers rules, as day-trip engineers can carry Swiss A1 certificates without transiting a second member state. Introductory fares start at CHF 195 one-way in SAS Plus, including fast-track security and lounge access; Global Distribution Systems have loaded full corporate contract classes. HR teams should update preferred-routing guidance and note that the late arrival in Stockholm means taxis fall under Sweden’s night-tariff rules, so per-diem budgets may need adjustment.
