SAS Traffic figures - April 2022

SAS Traffic figures - April 2022

1.5 million passengers traveled with SAS in April

During April more than 1.5 million passengers traveled with SAS, an increase of

approximately 380% compared to the same month last year. SAS' capacity increased

at the same time by 190% compared with the same period last year. In comparison

with last month, the total number of passengers increased with 7% and capacity

was increased by 15%. The flown load factor for April was 71%, an improvement of

41 percentage points compared to April last year.

"We continue the ramp-up and see the highest number of passengers since March

2020. Looking forward, sales and booking trends are positive for the summer

period ahead. Traffic to and from Asia remains a challenge due to remaining

COVID-19 restrictions as well as the geopolitical situation, that impact the

recovery of far-Eastern traffic. We remain focused on building a competitive and

financially strong SAS, which will be achieved through the success of the SAS

FORWARD transformation plan", says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
