This was sent to me by a friend who seems well connected -
"SAS Scandinavian Airlines (SK/Copenhagen Kastrup) will be split into five separate entities, one company operating out of each country, Denmark, Norway and Sweden and a longhaul division all operating under the SAS brand.
Its low fare division Snowflake (Copenhagen Kastrup) will also become a separate company.
SAS has increased its stake in Spanair (JK/Palma de Mallorca) from 73.9 percent to 94.9 percent."
Interesting that the major carriers are now having to change structure to cope with the onslought of the low cost carriers. Presumably this means each company will be self sufficient (or not when the time comes).
It would appear that as BA are divesting themselves of much feeder traffic that something else is likely to happen to their short haul operation which appear to be in much trouble. What chances of a re-emergence of BA European ?
