"Once again we saw that demand is positively impacted when travel restrictions

around the world ease. We need to stay agile and flexible as demand changes due

situation. Our recently launched plan, SAS FORWARD will make us a competitive

sustainable airline going forward," says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of
