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.
