To strengthen the intercontinental network of routes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The investment is part of SAS's long-term strategy to develop its long-haul network and create better connections between Scandinavia and key markets in North America, Asia, and other parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investment follows last year's order of 55 Embraer E195-E2 for regional traffic and the ongoing modernisation of the Airbus A320neo fleet. Together, the investments represent the largest renewal of SAS's aircraft fleet in several decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In connection with the announcement, SAS also presented a new analysis of the socio-economic impact of expanding operations at Copenhagen Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the report, SAS's planned expansion could contribute about 25,000 new jobs and an additional 25 billion Danish kroner to Denmark's GDP by 2030. Furthermore, approximately 4,000 new jobs are expected to be created in southern Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Strong international accessibility is a competitive advantage. In a world where investments, skills, and business opportunities move across borders, well-connected regions are strongest. By investing in our future, we contribute to long-term value creation for all of Scandinavia, says Anko van der Werff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SAS emphasizes that continued expansion will have sustainability as a central part of its strategy. Alongside the aircraft investment, the company has signed a letter of intent with SkyKraft to explore the possibilities of developing e-SAF, synthetic sustainable aviation fuel, as part of the transition towards more sustainable aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new Airbus A330-900neo will offer lower fuel consumption, reduced noise levels, and improved passenger comfort compared to previous generations of long-haul aircraft.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SAS genomf\u00f6r den st\u00f6rsta investeringen i bolagets historia genom att satsa p\u00e5 upp till 40 Airbus-l\u00e5ngdistansflygplan.
