G-FBEF (to become SE-RSI) did a proving flight out of NWI about two weeks ago, so its arrival as the fourth E195 for SAS Link might be imminent.

SE-RSI just taxied out towards NWI 09 as SVS9150, possibly bound for Copenhagen.

The 18th A320neo for SAS Connect, EI-SIS had it's entry into service today, 12 October 2022, with a roundtrip ARN-MAN and ARN-LHR (from where it will bring me home to Sweden, doubtless without any wifi.).
4 more remain on order: MSN 10990 EI-SIR, MSN 11043 EI-SIU, MSN 11168 EI-SIX and MSN 11206 EI-SI?.

I noticed that, this week, my usual milk-run UME-ARN has switched from Xfly (most of the summer and most weekends) and SAS mainline to SAS Connect. Looking through FlightRadar almost all flights to/from UME and LLA this week are on EI- registered aircraft.
(This wouldn't have been so noticable except on Sunday evening I boarded behind two unaccompanied minors who were warmly greeted in English by the British chief purser... and who could not understand what he was saying. While my recent SAS Connect flights have tended to have at least one Scandi-lanaguage-speaker on board, it seems a bit odd that the purser didn't.)

EI-SIR, the 19th A320neo for SAS Connect and the 56th A320 for SAS has just appeared on FlightRadar24 in Hamburg, apparently preparing for its delivery flight to CPH.

I’ve just boarded A320-232 OY-KAY for SK24 ARN-UME and noticed from the SAS app and the decal adjacent to door L1 that the plane is now operated by SAS Connect, instead of “mainline” SAS. This is the first time I’ve seen an a/c transferred from mainline SAS to SAS Connect without also being on the EI- register.
