SAS — Earnings Release 2020

SAS Traffic figures - August 2020

SAS Traffic figures - August 2020

Total number of passengers and capacity in August decreased by 74% and 73%

respectively, versus the same period last year. However, August also recorded a

small increase of 12 000 passengers compared to July this year.

SAS' traffic continues to be negatively impacted by COVID-19. In August, total

capacity was down by 73.4% compared to the same period last year and number of

passengers decreased by 2.1 million. Demand has recovered somewhat better within

Scandinavia than in other parts of our network and SAS has deployed its capacity

accordingly.

"During fall we aim to increase the number of flights and re-open more routes,

in line with the re-bounce in demand. Primarily we'll resume domestic traffic in

Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but also re-open 18 routes to key European

destinations. Furthermore, we aim to resume flights to Asia and once again offer

flights across all three continents where we normally operate," says

Rickard Gustafson, CEO SAS.
