Interested pilots and cabin crew can now apply for Danish employment at SAS 'platform SAS Connect. SAS expects the first appointments to the new Danish Connect base to come in November and December.
“We will hire as we receive new deliveries from Airbus. We expect a total of 11 aircraft by October 2022. In light of the pandemic and the highly competitive market that we are looking into after the corona, there is a need for us to accelerate the development of our upcoming business model so that we create a strong SAS and secures both current and future jobs in Scandinavia, ”says Eivind Bjurstrøm, VP Operations at SAS.
SAS Connect will operate with the Airbus A320, and the first flights from the Danish Connect base will begin in the first half of February next year.
Connect gets a Danish base and employment in a wholly owned SAS company
SAS Connect is the new name for SAS SAIL, which for a number of years has operated from bases in London and Spain, which made Danish agreements impossible. In May, a Danish agreement for pilots and cabin crew at the upcoming Danish Connect base was negotiated in place between SAS and the Aviation Industry Staff Union.
“SAS is satisfied with having signed an agreement with FPU, which ensures good Scandinavian working conditions for SAS Connect's base in Denmark. With SAS Connect, SAS can better adapt to the conditions in the aviation market of the future and thereby protect Scandinavian jobs and Scandinavian infrastructure, ”says Eivind Bjurstrøm.
Pilots and cabin crew will be employed in a wholly owned SAS company, SAS Connect Crew Services, which is a Danish registered company in the SAS Group.
