So is this saying that SAS have reverted to CRJ's on all routes except LBA which has been cancelled? If so who is providing the aircraft?

Goodbye SAS - today was the last day of operations on the CPH route - and predictably, they cancelled the flight.

SAS are to acquire Cimber air and re-equip it with CRJ 900 aircraft

Shame its too late for this decision it to take any effect to the recently axed Copenhagen - Leeds/Bradford route, even though I my mind SAS were the right airline for this route.
I think we all knew that the route had no chance even from the start due to the poorly timed schedule, If only they had introduced a business friendly flight schedule that allowed for onward worldwide connections.

Agreed lbaspotter.. the timings and frequency at 2 per week made it a virtual non starter for business use and even leisure to some extent. I thought about using SAS from Leeds to visit family when combining a trip down south but in reality the Friday and Monday timings were hopeless. A Wednesday flight would have made the difference.
Ok, you can fly out of Leeds and return to say Newcastle - but what about the car back at Leeds! Now of course SAS are to join Easyjet and Norwegian on the EDI - CPH route next year - giving at least 2 daily flights.
If anyone is to start up the LBA - CPH flights they need to be at least 4 per week.
