Perhaps this is a bit out of thread, but:
A question that has been popping in my head for the last year is why SAS is using two different strategies to "lower" their cost?
Why do they use external wet-lease providers(Regional Jet, CityJet, Air Nostrum), when they have established their "own" wet-lease provider SAIL?
I am curious as to why SAS wants to use both?
Since external providers certainly will try to generate a profit for them selves, the cost of operations must be higher than to use an "in house" wet-lease (SAIL)?
Or why didn't they simply put the Airbus 320 on Air Nostrum or CityJet? CityJet certainly acquired the CRJs mainly for the SAS contract.
What would stop them from adding the airbus to their AOC?
