SUMMER, SUN AND HOLIDAY OR WORKING REMOTELY?

Summer is approaching in leaps and bounds and here at SAS, we're getting ready to open 21 direct routes from Scandinavia to the sun. You can fly, for example, direct to Beirut, Marseille, Sicily/Catania, Naples and Reykjavik from Stockholm. And from Copenhagen there are direct flights to destinations including Florence, Catania and Cornwall (Newquay). So if you're looking for a sun holiday (or a relaxing place to work remotely), there are lots of great alternatives on SAS this summer. We want our travelers to be able to discover the world with as little carbon footprint as possible.This is why we're investing in biofuels and new aircraft that are more fuel efficient and produce fewer emissions. We're also running initiatives to reduce food waste and plastic use onboard and since 1 February, we've been carbon offsetting all of our EuroBonus members' trips on SAS.

SMARTER WASHES

Traditionally, washing aircraft has meant using lots of cleaning agents and water (3,000 liters to wash an A320) in something similar to a huge car wash. But since 2017, we've been washing SAS aircraft using dry wash, which means that we can clean an A320 using only 60 to 80 liters of precious water. The technique uses 98 percent less water and results in aircraft that stay clean longer and are more aerodynamic, which means less fuel consumption. The process is also more manageable and can be carried out all year round.

HIGH-SPEED WIFI ONBOARD

A year ago, we introduced our new high-speed WiFi onboard short-haul flights – the fastest in the Nordic market with speeds similar to what you enjoy on the ground so you can stream movies, send pictures and work as usual. WiFi is now installed on 50 aircraft and will soon be offered on most of our flights within Europe. Free for EuroBonus Diamond and Gold members travelers in SAS Plus, 4.90 EUR for travelers in SAS Go.

The Airbus A320neo is an important part of achieving these goals. Thanks to modern, efficient engines and ultra-aerodynamic features, the A320neo helps reduce CO₂ emissions.
