SAS Traffic figures - January 2022
SAS Traffic figures - January 2022
Ramp-up was slowed down by Omicron in January
In January 760,000 passengers traveled with SAS, an increase of 170% compared to
the same month last year. SAS' capacity also increased by approximately 170%
compared with the same period last year. In comparison with last month, the
total number of passengers decreased with almost 25% and capacity was reduced by
almost 10%. The flown load factor for January was 49%, an improvement of 19
percentage points compared to January last year.
"It will come as no surprise that Omicron had an impact on customer demand
during the month, with additional travel restrictions being imposed on our core
markets. The overall operational environment was also negatively affected due to
increased sickness rates. Winter is in general a slower season and the industry
still faces uncertainties regarding the development of the pandemic and SAS must
continue to respond to changes in demand. However, our longer-term outlook is
that we see the demand for travel increase as restrictions ease," says Anko van
der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
