Job Description
Join SAS as a Experienced First Officer
Flying for SAS - Scandinavian Airlines System – has never simply been about logging hours.It’s about stepping into a legacy of Scandinavian aviation where professionalism, trust, and purpose shape every journey we make together.

With growing experience comes expanding opportunity, from mixed‑fleet flying and long‑haul missions to instructor roles shaping future pilots or leadership paths influencing the strategic direction of SAS.
At SAS, you don’t just fly. You become part of something built to last.
