Aug 29, 2011 (newstodate): The Scandinavian carrier SAS has now phased out its last remaining MD-90 aircraft.
Already in August 2010, the carrier announced its decision to phase out its fleet of eight MD-90-30 aircraft, signing a leasing contract, arranged by SkyWorks Leasing, LLC, with an unnamed US carrier - probably Delta Air Lines - that would take delivery of the aircraft during the period starting from Q3, 2010, till the end of Q2, 2011.
This process has now been completed as part of the carrier's on-going efforts to trim its aircraft fleet to contain fewer aircraft types, primarily Airbus A320 Family and Boeing 737NG aircraft.
