I'm thinking that they have a vested interest in trying to keep the airline in business to some end no matter what even if operations are suspended.

I doubt they will let it go. but that is my 2 cents.
No. Norway sold their shares some years ago.

Ownership or not. SAS is listed as critical infrastructure in both SE and DK. Both countries will go a long way to keep SK flying and I actually think it's the same for NO. SK recently won the right to serve some of the remote airports from DY. This means SK operation on those routes are subsidized by the NO government.
