Aug 05, 2022 (newstodate): The "new" carrier SAS Link is slowly building up its fleet of aircraft.
   The carrier has thus taken delivery on August 4, 2022, of its third aircraft, an Embraer E195 formerly operated by FlyBe.
   SAS Link received its AOC on April 6, 2022, and also took delivery of its first E195 on the same date.
   Six Embraer 195 aircraft formerly operated by FlyBe have been reconfigured and painted and will be delivered on a long-term lease contract with the British leasing company Falko Regional Aircraft Limited, a provider to SAS since 2011.
    An element in the new SAS strategy, SAS Forward, SAS Link will be operating as a mid-size airline with its base at Copenhagen Airport, providing regional air traffic on SAS routes.
   In Norway, another SAS Link base will be Bergen Flesland Airport, with SAS Link allocating up to three Embraer E195 aircraft and recruiting some 100 cockpit and cabin staff to provide flights on routes to destinations in northern Norway as well as Scandinavia.
   Serving SAS Link with ground handling services at Bergen will be Aviator Airport Alliance under a five-year contract signed with SAS in 2020.
