12 January, 2021

SAS CEO Rickard Gustafson said (12-Jan-2021) overall demand "continues to be heavily impacted by continued restrictions", with holiday travel "significantly below" normal levels as of Dec-2020. SAS stated it is continuing to adapt its capacity according to demand, which is expected to stay at low levels throughout the winter 2020/2021 season. Mr Gustafson concluded that the carrier is "encouraged" by the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine which provides a "foundation" for an industry recovery. [more - original PR]
