SAS Traffic figures - November 2021
SAS Traffic figures - November 2021
Number of travelers stabilized in November, but uncertainty remains
In November more than 1.3 million passengers traveled with SAS, an increase by
just over 300% year on year. At the same time SAS increased its capacity by 143%
compared to last year and came in at a similar level versus the previous month.
The flown load factor was 61%, which is up 36 percentage points (p p) compared
to last year and 1.6 p p increase compared to October. Eased travel restrictions
subsequently lead to increased ticket sales both internationally and
domestically, which is clearly seen comparing numbers with last year as well as
with earlier months.
"We have seen a gradual increase of demand over the past few months as travel
restrictions have been lifted. Demand and ticket sales have stabilized ahead of
the winter, which in general is a slower period. However, with new versions of
the COVID-19 virus spreading across the globe, the future continues to be
uncertain. Entering the winter season, we need to remain flexible when it comes
to our capacity in order to respond to the demand amongst Scandinavia's
travelers" says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
