“1.6 million passengers traveled with SAS in December, which represents a passenger volume increase of 6 percent compared to last year. In December, Skellefteå City Airport became the first individual airport in Sweden to join SAS’s Corporate Sustainability program, and we hope this partnership will inspire other companies to join and be part of the journey to transform aviation for generations to come. SAS is also expanding its flight offerings and increasing capacity in the summer traffic program. This summer, SAS will fly to over 130 destinations in more than 40 countries, with added frequencies to popular destinations in Europe, North America and Asia and nine new destinations in Europe,” says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS
