SAS starts operations under Irish AOC
SAS has launched its new operation under an Irish AOC, as it seeks to lower costs by basing aircraft outside its expensive home territories. The carrier said Dec 21 it had obtained the AOC last week, following a delay in receiving its new Airbus A320neo. SAS plans to operate 9 A320neos under the new AOC. Five will be based at London Heathrow—the airline’s first base outside Scandinavia—while the remainder will operate from a second new base in Malaga, southern Spain. An SAS spokesman said the London base would be used primarily for services between London and the Scandinavian capitals, as well as for sectors between other UK airports and Scandinavia. The new Malaga base is scheduled to be up and running in summer 2018. <br/>
