SAS and Flybe to end ‘white label’ services
SAS and UK regional carrier Flybe are ending their “white label” agreement, under which the UK airline provided short-haul services to SAS on a wet-lease basis. Flybe has operated five ATR 72-600 turboprops on behalf of SAS, primarily out of Stockholm Arlanda on domestic Swedish and Finnish routes for the past four years, using local crews and engineering support. The aircraft operate in full SAS livery. In recent years, SAS has increasingly switched short, thinner routes to several ACMI providers, which operate smaller aircraft than are available in SAS’s mainline fleet, as the Scandinavian carrier sought to reduce costs. <br/>
