2.1 million passengers traveled with SAS during April
2.1 million passengers traveled with SAS in April, a 12 percent increase
compared with the same month last year. SAS' capacity increased by 7 percent and
RPK increased by 9 percent, compared with April 2023. The flown load factor for
April was 77 percent.
"Positive developments continue in April, with 2.1 million passengers travelling
with SAS, up 12 percent compared to the same month last year. We had solid
operational performance in April and reached our targets for punctuality and
regularity, despite being impacted by external factors such as the closure of
Norwegian airspace on 25 April. SAS has also signed an Alliance Adherence
Agreement with SkyTeam, concluding that SAS will join SkyTeam on September 1
this year. We are very excited to have reached this pivotal milestone in our
alliance transition journey. SAS' customers and EuroBonus members will be able
to enjoy new destinations and benefits as part of the SkyTeam alliance family,
marking the start of an exciting future for customers, partners and employees
alike," says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
