SAS shifts deliveries of A350s and A320neos to align with recovery
SAS has shifted deliveries of a pair of Airbus A350-900s due to arrive in the current fiscal year, shifting them to fiscal years 2022 and 2023 instead. It has also deferred introduction of eight Airbus A320neos, pushing back the delivery of two batches of four aircraft each by a couple of years – one batch to fiscal 2024 and the other to fiscal 2025. But the arrival of two remaining Airbus A321LRs, due in fiscal 2021, has not been changed. “We worked hard during crisis to manage timing of deliveries,” says new SAS CFO Magnus Ornberg, recruited from Saab in October. “This will reduce our capital expenditure need for 2021-24.” Ornberg added that the changes will mean the carrier is “better aligned” to the recovery in demand.<br/>
