Stockholm, 2006
Due to the current situation in SAS a stop of pilot employment has been decided. Pilot applications are at this moment not accepted and the assessment process has been stopped. For those already registered the initial aviation psychological assessment will be postponed.
For any further information, please contact us through: [email protected]
Trained / Experienced pilots
The requirements for an application to be registered were as follows and will be updated when needed:
Minimum 700 hours total flight time, of which minimum 200 hours must be on 2-engine aircraft.
Minimum 100 hours of total flight time as pilot-in-command.

Language Requirements
SAS has decided to remove the Scandinavian language requirement at the time of application.
Applications from pilots not fluent in a Scandinavian language will be registered as long as all other formal requirements are met, including EU citizenship and JAR license. Priority will be given to pilots with min. 3000 hours total flight time.
If accepted, a language program in Danish, Norwegian or Swedish would have to be completed (on SAS account).
For registration, military pilots are accepted without civilian licenses as well as pilots with a non-Scandinavian license.
JAR or Scandinavian licenses are required before employment can be considered.
The flight time requirement is waived for pilots trained in the armed force.
