Jun 01, 2023 (newstodate): SAS is playing an active role in evacuation of Ukrainians needing medical treatment at European hospitals.
   As part of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, SAS has provided aircraft for the evacuation of wounded and critically ill patients from Ukraine since the start of the invasion in February 2022.  
   Through a long-standing agreement with the Norwegian Armed Forces and Directorate of Health, SAS has converted a Boeing 737-800 aircraft into a hospital evacuation aircraft to take war victims from an evacuation center in Poland to hospitals across Europe.  
   So far, SAS has been evacuating well over 1,000 war victims using the SAS aircraft on a near-weekly basis.
