Scandinavian Airlines Highlights For The Current Vacationers.

By Grant Victor Xavier


There are many fascinating stories of airlines in recent history, and Scandinavian Airlines is one with many twists and turns. If an airline can manage to stay in operation across many decades, than that attests to something worthy of note. Around the world, the airline industry is one of the most grueling and that is a straightforward justification.

42 Billion Swedish Krona, SEK, was the number of revenues reported by Scandinavian Air in the fiscal year 2006. In that one year, they transported just over 25 million people around the world domestically. That alone put the airline at #9 on the top 10 in Europe charts. SAS attributes this success to smart mergers and acquisitions. Among other things, they are a founding member of the aviation consortium known as the Star Alliance Group. One tactic the company has pursued is that of joining forces with a wide variety of other airlines over the last fifty years, which has definitely paid off.

One of the three countries which have a fractional proportion of ownership to SAS is Demark. Between Copenhagen and locations throughout Europe, are the foremost points of flight operational responsibilities.

It's often a topic of conversation among airlines, discussing the alliances entered into by SAS over the history of the company. But let's not forget about code sharing agreements with non-alliance airlines. These code sharing agreements can easily be explained as a legal agreement between partnering airlines that is mutually beneficial. What this means for travelers is a broader availability of flights they can use to get to their destination and revenue sharing between companies depending on who holds the ticket. SAS maintains agreements such as these with Lufthansa, Austrian and United airlines. Another common occurrence with code sharing is called schedule integration which means fewer missed flights due to connection mishaps.

The tradition SAS follows, to this day, is as a well-regarded global passenger airline. North America and Asia are two of Scandinavian Airline's long-distance international destinations. Copenhagen Airport, Denmark is the main European and Inter-Continental hub and the other two main hubs in Sweden are Stockholm-Arlanda Airport and Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. From the hubs in Copenhagen and Stockholm, the division called SAS International, is responsible for all intercontinental routes as well as all sales units outside of Scandinavia. They currently have more than 900 employees. Scandinavian Airlines International-SAS operates separately from the other three divisions - Scandinavia Airlines in Denmark, Scandinavia Airlines in Norway, and Scandinavia Airlines in Sweden.

For each of the service areas, Scandinavian Airlines created a different business division. Ever since the beginning, this airline has been more of an alliance among investors and various airlines. But eventually, the partner airlines became merged with the overall conglomerate that is known worldwide as SAS. The different divisions of SAS in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway now employ almost 16,000 people.

A good way to make sure you have a wonderful holiday is to choose your destination carefully. No matter which airline you choose to utilize, if you go to an excellent vacation spot, that will make a big difference. That's the easiest way to savor a wonderful vacation.
