hoppaGo and Scandinavian Airlines Expand Strategic Partnership to Integrate Global Rail Network

LONDON, UK - August 26, 2025 - hoppaGo, the world’s leading B2B marketplace for ground transportation, and SAS, Scandinavia's premier airline, today announced a significant expansion of their strategic partnership. Building on a successful collaboration providing pre-booked and ride-hailing services since September 2024, the partnership now integrates hoppaGo’s extensive global rail network directly onto the SAS website.

Effective June 30, 2025, this integration provides SAS customers with seamless, direct access to book train tickets online in just minutes across 70+ countries. Partnering with over 2,000 train carriers—including major operators like Heathrow Express, Arlanda express, TransPennine Express, Italo, and Renfe Viajeros—this move revolutionizes the travel experience by creating a truly comprehensive, door-to-door journey from a single platform and saying goodbye to last-minute ticket queues.

This enhanced partnership is powered by hoppaGo’s proprietary, future-proofed SaaS technology, specifically designed to address long-standing challenges in airline ground transport sales. Recognizing that passengers often don't provide their final address when booking a flight—a key factor in low ground transport conversion—hoppaGo's solution moves beyond the single booking flow. It introduces intelligent, multi-touchpoint offers throughout the customer journey, from initial flight booking to post-booking emails and last-minute, on-demand ride-hailing upon arrival. This ensures SAS can present the right travel option at the right time, maximizing convenience and service uptake at every touchpoint.

The expansion delivers unparalleled choice to SAS customers. In addition to the existing marketplace of over 70,000 ride providers and 40+ vehicle types in 182+ countries, passengers can now instantly compare and book their rail journey. This complete “first mile, last mile” solution allows any traveller—from a business executive needing an executive vehicle to a family seeking a budget-friendly train ticket—to tailor their perfect journey.

hoppaGo's commitment to a superior customer experience is central to the partnership, ensuring every SAS passenger is a "happy customer." This is achieved through a philosophy of providing confidence, security, and an assurance of quality. Transparent, proactive communication, including detailed service information, real-time driver tracking, and direct contact channels for support, is key. This focus on service quality, driven by robust data and reporting, gives SAS the ability to make dynamic decisions that maintain the highest levels of customer satisfaction while generating sustainable, repeatable revenue.

"Our successful partnership with SAS has always been about delivering more than just transport; it's about providing confidence, security, and assured quality at every touchpoint," stated Chris Harrington, Managing Director at hoppaGo. "By embedding our vast rail, private transfer and ride-hailing network into the SAS customer journey, we are not only providing unparalleled choice but also future-proofing their service offering, driving both customer satisfaction and sustainable revenue growth."

"At SAS, our mission is to provide our passengers with the most convenient, integrated, and reliable travel solutions," said Caroline Bergström, Head of Ancillary Products and Retail, SAS."hoppaGo's innovative technology and comprehensive marketplace perfectly align with our vision to be the go-to choice for travellers. This deepened partnership allows us to offer our customers a truly seamless door-to-door experience, from the moment they book their flight to their final destination. It reinforces our commitment to customer-centric innovation and operational excellence."
