. Capacity growth is expected to continue during winter 2018/19, and we expect

an overall growth of 4-5% during Q1.

. SAS plans to increase capacity by 2-3% in fiscal year 2019, primarily due to

more seats in the Airbus A320neo.

SAS - Scheduled Traffic Development

. Intercontinental traffic increased 2.6%, while capacity was down 1.8%. The

increase was mainly on Asian routes.

. European/Intrascandinavian traffic declined 1.5% and capacity increased 0.2%.

Traffic increased on Intrascandinavian routes but decreased on European routes.

. Domestic traffic increased 2.6% on the back of a 3.8% increase in capacity,

resulting in a lower passenger load factor. The pattern was similar in Norway

and Sweden.
