SAS Traffic figures - October 2021

SAS Traffic figures - October 2021

Passengers traveling with SAS continues to increase during October

In October 1.4 million passengers flew with SAS, an increase of more than 130%

compared to the same month last year. Customer demand continues to increase and

so does SAS' capacity, which was 100% higher than the same month last year. The

load factor for October was 62%, an improvement of 23 percentage points compared

to October last year.

"It's positive to see that the increase in travelers continues also after the

summer season, and that the ticket sales are going up. In October, passengers

flying with SAS increased with more than 250.000, compared to September. The

ramp-up continues and both capacity and load factor are higher this month. We

still face challenges and an unpredictable future, which makes it very important

to stay competitive. We have to be agile to be able to respond to changes in

customer demand going forward," says Anko van der Werff, President & CEO of SAS.
