Overview
- Scandinavian Airlines revealed a special scheme on Airbus A330‑300 LN‑RKR that echoes its 1980s look with a blue fuselage, oversized SAS titles, stylized Nordic flags, and an “80” on the tail.
- SAS plans the first deployment on the Copenhagen to New York route as a tribute to its early transatlantic beginnings linking Scandinavia and New York.
- LN‑RKR entered the fleet in 2015 and is one of eight A330‑300s in service, configured with 266 seats across business, premium economy, and economy cabins.
- The aircraft is expected to appear on major long‑haul routes, and flight‑tracking sites already label LN‑RKR with the anniversary marking for spotters to follow.
- Industry coverage notes the livery is likely a temporary tribute as repaint cycles and fleet updates progress.
