FEB 28, 2005 (newstodate): While SAS' overall passenger load factor still lingers around 55, prospects for the airline's Asian traffic are bright.
Speaking at a joint meeting of the Scandinavian Chambers of Commerce in Bangkok recently, the airline's CEO, Jorgen Lindegaard said that if the boom in Southeast Asia continues, SAS might not just be adding flight frequencies, but also consider opening direct flights to and from Stockholm in a few years.
-We are very satisfied with what we do today. But we know there is more we can do especially in Southeast Asia, which is going through an incredible development. Not only are we looking actively at increasing the number of flight frequencies, there is also a growing need in the Swedish community to fly directly to and from Stockholm, and we are looking actively into how we can do that as we continue to develop our network to Southeast Asia, he said at a press conference before the meeting with Scandinavian businessmen.
