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.
