Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has decided not to take up a $350 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) loan during the second quarter of 2023, as originally planned.
This will mark the return of direct flights into Asia for the Scandinavian flag carrier from Sweden’s capital city. In the past ten years it has previously offered links from Stockholm to both Beijing and Bangkok, the latter on a seasonal winter basis, but these were both suspended from spring 2009.
Aviation History Month is still underway, and this week we’re looking at airlines from 1940 – 1960. Despite World War II ongoing during the first quarter of the period, aviation still saw a great deal of progression and many new airlines commenced operation.
As SAS Scandinavian Airlines celebrates the 50th anniversary of its first scheduled flight to Chicago, host city of this year’s World Routes forum in September 2014, the carrier has revealed it is to boost its flights to the Windy City, while also adding frequencies to other markets in the US.
SAS Scandinavian Airlines is to launch a new direct transatlantic connection between Stavanger and Houston from August this year in partnership with premium airline operation specialist PrivatAir.
