SEK 3.0 BILLION CREDIT LINE FROM MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS IN PLACE

The previously announced credit line from the major shareholders is now in place

following the agreement by Scandinavian Airlines System - Denmark - Norway -

Sweden to contract a credit facility for a total amount corresponding to SEK 3.0

billion with the governments of Sweden and Denmark as lenders. The facility is

intended to support liquidity during the recovery phase following the COVID-19

pandemic.

"We are pleased to have the credit line in place and are grateful for the

support of our major shareholders. The facility is designed to create a

liquidity buffer and complements ongoing activities at SAS to reduce costs and

strengthen liquidity," says Magnus Örnberg, CFO of SAS.
