The Scandinavian airline SAS is to restart flights between Oslo and the UK, Ireland, Germany, and Switzerland, in a bet that restrictions will be lifted on the countries next week.
In a press release issued on Monday, the airline said it was restarting flights between Oslo and London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Zürich.
"As demand and interest in air travel across Europe returns, SAS is resuming flights on routes to many destinations," the airline wrote. "Restrictions are being relaxed on travel between Norway and England and elsewhere, and SAS is starting flights to London and Manchester."
The new routes will start operating from July 16th -- the day after July 15th, when Norway has said it will lift travel restrictions on European countries with an "acceptable" level of infection.
Although Norway's government only plans to publish its list of open countries on July 10th, SAS appears confident that the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland will all be on the list.
The airline said it would reopen more routes in Europe as demand returns.
