KLM, Air France and SAS will work more closely together.
The companies have signed codeshare and interline agreements for this purpose.
These agreements also include mutual benefits for their loyalty programs.
They will enter into force on 1 September this year, when SAS will officially join the SkyTeam alliance, of which Air France-KLM is a founding member.
In April, it was announced that SAS would switch to Skyteam and leave Star Alliance on 1 September.
The codeshare agreement covers a wide range of European destinations.
KLM and Air France customers will have access to 33 destinations in Northern Europe, via SAS’s hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
SAS customers will have access to 33 destinations in Europe, via the KLM and Air France hubs at Schiphol and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
In addition, intercontinental destinations will be added to the agreement in the near future.

KLM and Air France operate up to 200 weekly flights between their hubs – at Schiphol and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports – and SAS’s hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm.
SAS currently operates up to 65 weekly flights to Schiphol and 44 flights to Paris-Charles de Gaulle from Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. (Image: KLM).
