In March, SAS experienced a surge in passenger numbers, with 2 million travelers, marking a 5 percent rise from the previous year. Notably, SAS expanded its capacity by 15 percent, and its revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) saw a substantial 20 percent increase compared to March 2023. Despite this growth, the flown load factor for March settled at 79 percent.
“We are pleased to see that 2 million passengers traveled with SAS in March, which includes the Easter weekend this year. During the month, the U.S. Court approved SAS’ plan of reorganization, which is a major milestone for SAS FORWARD and sets a clear path for us to exit the restructuring proceedings. SAS has also signed a new agreement with the Norwegian Armed Forces for strategic air evacuation, which means we will continue these proud assignments using lower emission Airbus A320neo aircraft following the phase-out of the current aircraft in 2025. Finally, we are proud that SAS was yet again voted the most sustainable company in the aviation industry among Swedish and Danish consumers,” says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
