Longhaul strategy?

From e-mail sent out 12 January:

"The routes from Copenhagen to Beijing and Shanghai will continue as before. In total we offer 14 flights per week between Scandinavia and China."

From press release dated 30 January:

"SAS has an extensive route network between Scandinavia and China. SAS will operate ten flights a week to Beijing Airport and from September 2007 traffic will be strengthened with additional departures from both Stockholm and Copenhagen.
[...]
SAS has decided to reorganize its traffic to China and will discontinue flights to Shanghai's Pudong International Airport from April 8."

From press release dated 8 Feburary:

"Both business and leisure travelers are showing widespread interest in Bangkok. Therefore, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) will launch a new route from Stockholm to Bangkok at the end of October 2007. This route will be operated three times a week in both directions in addition to the already existing service between Copenhagen and Bangkok.
[...]
SAS will continue to operate Copenhagen to Bangkok with the usual high frequency."

Info "leaked" on 9 February:

"Due to some schedule changes of SK972/SK973 CPH-BKK-CPH during the period of 09APR07-31AUG07 passengers will be rebooked/involuntary rerouted to other SK-operating flights.
[...]
Following flights during the period of 09APR07-31AUG07 will be cancelled and passengers will be rebooked/involuntary rerouted by SK to other SK-flights as specified below..."

and, finally, just a note: either they are planning two evening departures from ARN to Asia on certain days of the week or they will not increase frequencies on ARN-PEK in the fall as advertised 30 January...
