Comments by Mats Jansson in DI
Just wanted to share with you some comments from Mats Jansson in yesterdays Dagens Industri. I couldn´t find the article online.
It was during SAS Annual General Meeting that he told that SAS needs to improve their result by 3 billion SEK. They should reach their target by lowering costs and increasing ther revenues. He also said that they sholud define the roles of the airlines within the SAS Group.
The traffic to USA are the most profitable intercontinental routes and SAS will continue to put their focus on transaltantic routes.
Finally, he promised that SAS would improve thair punctuality, and that EuroBonus would improve.
The unveling of Mats Janssons plan for SAS are still scheduled for mid May.

Welcome to FT, Jocke. Nice to get new members.
I´ve been wondering why SAS canno´t make good money on their Asian routes and yet they make money on TA-routes. The competition should be more fierce into the US. Good news if they actually are trying to make EB better again. My biggest problem is the 25% earnings. Even Finnair gives 50% on el cheapo tix.

Maybe there is something SAS has discovered regarding Atlantic routes but haven't been able to utilise that in Asia routes.
I wonder if it would be just too risky to concentrate on Atlantic routes and create very good codeshares to Asia with other carriers ...

The article isn't online as it's part of their "real" paper edition...
I've got the full page as a PDF though so if anybody wants it, just PM me.
The page also includes the FlyMe article mentioned by Jacob_m in another thread.
There's not a whole lot that Mats says in the article though more than the above quote...
Tommy, you've got it in your hotmail account.
