MINNEAPOLIS — You can travel from the Twin Cities to Denmark's capital city without any layovers starting this coming spring. 

Delta Airlines will launch the first MSP to Copenhagen flight in May 2025, with flights going through the summer.

“This route creates an invaluable connection between two major SkyTeam partner hubs, providing unrivaled connectivity and travel options for customers traveling between Scandinavia and North America,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning in a news release. 

Copenhagen is the largest city in Denmark and is a major tourist destination in the region. The CCO at Copenhagen Airport Peter Krogsgaard said in a news release they are excited to welcome more American visitors.

Delta is calling the new flight option "Scandi Summer." The flights are in partnership with the Scandinavian Airlines System, which Delta signed a codeshare agreement with in September. 

"The codeshare agreement will improve connection opportunities for customers flying between North America and Scandinavia and will offer reciprocal codeshare and frequent flyer benefits including the ability to earn and redeem SkyMiles or SAS EuroBonus points across both carriers," Delta explained. 

Delta said this summer will be its largest ever in terms of trans-Atlantic flights, "with over 700 weekly flights to 33 European destinations and beyond."

In September, Delta announced it will begin offering nonstop service from MSP to Rome next spring as part of its 2025 trans-Atlantic schedule. An airline spokesperson said the flights will occur four times a week starting in May.
