Harry,
I haven't been able to locate the story you have quoted. Would you be able to insert the full text from "Flight" of what has been said, including details of the Saab spokesperson and any journalist that may have been involved in the piece.
What you have quoted seems to be at odds with the recent public statements of both S.A.L. and Saab AB in this regard and it would be interesting to read the full article to understand any contextual references associated with any clear decision(s).
Many thanks.
