SAS - Scandinavian Airlines is restructuring its #businessmodel around three measurable pillars — 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. After emerging from $2B in debt under Chapter 11, it secured $𝟭.𝟮𝗕 in new equity from Air France-KLM, Castlelake, and Lind Invest, and shifted from Star Alliance to SkyTeam . This move aligns SAS with 𝗞𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗶𝗿’𝘀 𝟵𝟬+ 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟬𝟬+ 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 destinations, strengthening feed efficiency through #Copenhagen. The new 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻–𝗦𝗲𝗼𝘂𝗹 (𝗖𝗣𝗛–𝗜𝗖𝗡) route, spanning 𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀, is a model of data-led scheduling. Operated by the Airbus 𝗔𝟯𝟱𝟬𝘀, it adjusts capacity seasonally — three weekly flights in winter, four in spring/fall, and six in summer — aligning deployment with 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 instead of fixed frequencies. SAS operates a 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝟯𝟱𝟬𝘀 and 𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗔𝟯𝟯𝟬-𝟯𝟬𝟬𝘀, balancing flexibility and cost. Future fleet plans consider full 𝗔𝟯𝟱𝟬 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, selective 𝗔𝟯𝟯𝟬-𝟵𝟬𝟬𝗻𝗲𝗼 replacement, or 𝗔𝟯𝟮𝟭𝗟𝗥/𝗫𝗟𝗥 expansion for thinner transatlantic routes — each evaluated for 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗞, 𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗞, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. The planned Air France–KLM 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 (𝟲𝟬.𝟱%) will integrate SAS deeper into SkyTeam, enabling 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 feed improving 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 and segment contribution margins through unified connectivity planning. By 2026, SAS will launch 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬, increase 𝟒𝟎 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬, and grow 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎%, creating 𝟓𝟎% 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. The strategy is clear: 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, not scale. SAS is evolving into a case study in 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲. #AviationStrategy #RevenueManagement #NetworkOptimization #FleetPlanning #SAS #SkyTeam #AirFranceKLM #A350 #AirlineEconomics

We just spent two days with nine leading airlines revealing the playbook for converting reliability data into measurable financial gains. Earlier this month in Singapore, we joined forces with Airbus Singapore for a milestone we’ll never forget: our first-ever course delivery in the Asia-Pacific region, the Maintenance Cost and Reliability Control Programme (RCP). Together, we moved beyond theory and turned insight into action. Participants left ready to: ✅ Control costs: use data-driven reliability insights to optimise maintenance expenses. ✅ Drive revenue: turn mandatory requirements into measurable financial gains. ✅ Bridge strategy: connect operational efficiency directly with strategic business impact. A heartfelt thank you to Paul Coignec, Ben L., Chintan Dave, the entire Airbus APAC / Singapore team, and all the participants, whose energy made this debut unforgettable.

Elevate Aviation Group is doubling down on Asia, earmarking South Korea as its centre of operations for the continent. According to CEO Greg Raiff, the region represents a major growth opportunity for the company’s integrated aviation services platform, and one where service quality, not price alone, will be a defining factor. “We think the Asian market is very much underserved,” Raiff told us. “We feel that the whole of Asia has tremendous potential. We chose Korea as a base because it’s a great place to operate from — plentiful commercial flights, a straightforward regulatory environment and strong infrastructure to support aircraft operations.” Read full: https://lnkd.in/exVxU7dV

Sojitz Corporation set to launch Japan's first large business-jet shared ownership program, the Share Jet Program - SJP, set to begin operations in 2027. This initiative introduces two flagship aircraft, the Global 6500 and Global 8000, offering flexible access to ultra-long-range jets for business travelers and corporations across Japan and Asia. The Global 8000 is the fastest business jet worldwide, capable of Mach 0.94 speeds and a range of 8,000 nautical miles, ideal for trans-Pacific routes. The program aims to expand to a fleet of ten aircraft by 2030, reflecting growing demand for efficient, private travel solutions in the Asia-Pacific region. Shared ownership models like SJP reduce the financial barriers of private jet access, providing cost-effective and reliable alternatives to full ownership. This collaboration highlights a strategic response to evolving business travel needs, supporting connectivity between major economic hubs with advanced aircraft technology and operational efficiency. #Bombardier #Sojitz #JapanBusinessAviation Read more: https://lnkd.in/e-bhmQ8U
