Why would you need to connect in CDG or AMS? At least for cities already served by SAS!!!
it would make no sense for AFKL to buy a share of SAS, and then shut down that airline's routes, leaving competitors to move in and recreate their Scandinavian hubs.
And I don't see that AFKL would be able to do that anyway (not that it makes sense for them to want to do so), given that they only have 20% of the shares, and their partners are unlikely to see their new acquisition mutilated in such a way!!!
