SAS, a globally recognized leader in sustainability, punctuality, and innovation within the aviation industry, is entering a significant growth phase. This expansion includes the launch of its most extensive summer program in 2026, featuring new routes and destinations across Europe, North America, and Asia. The airline operates a modern fleet of over 100 narrowbody and widebody aircraft, providing pilots with diverse flying experiences, from challenging Nordic winter conditions to navigating high-traffic international airspaces.
With robust demand driving global air traffic and an expanding Airbus fleet, SAS invites qualified Captains to contribute to its ambitious vision for future growth and excellence.
This opportunity is for a Captain on the Airbus A320 fleet, based in Copenhagen. Initially, the role operates under a flexible 83.3% part-time agreement for the first 24 months, with the option to transition to a 100% full-time contract thereafter.
All required licenses and qualifications must be valid and up-to-date at the time of application. Successful candidates will be required to undergo a background check, a personal security interview, and a drug and alcohol test, all conducted in Copenhagen.
Candidates selected to advance will participate in the following stages:
Each stage of the recruitment process is potentially disqualifying. Successful candidates from the initial screening are anticipated to be invited for assessment during Fall/Winter 2025/2026, with employment commencing in the first half of 2026.
Applications are reviewed continuously, and the advertisement may close without notice. Early application is strongly recommended. The application deadline is December 15, 2025.
Candidates who have previously applied and were not invited to an assessment are welcome to reapply. Those who have previously attended an assessment but were unsuccessful may reapply after 12 months.
SAS reserves the right to modify the recruitment process or base availability. Meeting minimum requirements or successfully completing assessments does not guarantee employment. All offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of mandatory background checks, including a personal security interview, drug and alcohol testing, license validation, and employment verification. Salary levels are determined by collective agreements and are non-negotiable.
