I lack the words....

Shanghai is the fastest growing business centre in the world. It is a booming market, in business in political sense and from a tourist perspective. To meet this demand SAS opens up ARN-PEK, increases capacity on the highly competitve transatlantic routes - and closes CPH-PVG.

I do not think I can find a nice wording around this - this is just one of the dumbest moves in recent times. Either Frösundavik have been smoking something or SAS is not able to run a PVG route with profit. If the later is the case - then SAS does not have a justification in the market. Sell it to LH for 1 Swedish Peso

Way to go Lasse - it certainly does not talk in favour of Mats either.
