1. Larger and more efficient operation, huge increase on numbers of aircrafts over numbers in administration.
2. Restarting flights to LYR! Very good pax numbers on top of good cargo revenue.
3. Starting BDU after winning contract with The Armed Forces.
4. SAS starting Leisure in direct competition with NAS. No problem for NAS, SAS has a cost factor double what NAS has!!
5. Fuel price! NAS paying full price! As Ryanair does.
6. World economy indirectly affecting peoples pockets. Passenger choose NAS when they want cheap flights.
7. The difference in ticket price between the legacy airlines and the low cost airlines smaller. Brings SAS to an end, either by bankruptcy or takeover by large group like Lufthansa.
8. SAS raising the ticket price, less pax. NAS sitting on the fence with same ticket price and welcoming paxnumbers skyrocketing.
9. 1306 pilots willing to pay for T/R. (from the updated application list)
10. SAS laying off pilots as scheduled in their downsizing plan.
11. Diff. training from classic to NG, taking place on sceduled PC/OPC basis at almost no extra cost.
12. Fixed price on new NG's down by NOK 800 mio. due low USD currency.
The list goes on.....
NAS strengthening their position, SAS dramatic weakened.
