Continued strict travel restrictions, but Easter holidays lead to increase in
travel during March.
In March 310,000 passengers flew with SAS, an increase of about 40% compared
with February, but almost 70% lower than the same month last year. The increased
demand led to an improvement in the load factor compared with February by 5
percentage points to 31%. The load factor continues to be generally higher on
SAS' Scandinavian and European traffic and amounted to 44% in March, which is an
improvement of 2 percentage points compared with February.
"The number of passengers and future bookings has increased during the month,
but from very low levels. The development of the demand for air travel is
entirely dependent on ongoing vaccinations and that travel restrictions can be
eased and coordinated between countries and regions. Although the market for the
aviation industry remains challenging, we succeeded in securing favorable
financing agreements for future deliveries of aircraft from Airbus during the
month. The new aircraft take us toward a unified fleet with significantly lower
fuel consumption and emissions," says Rickard Gustafson, CEO of SAS.

From fiscal year 2020 we report change in CO2 emissions in total and per
Available Seat Kilometers (ASK) to align with our overall goal to reduce our
total CO2 emissions by 25% by 2025, compared to 2005.
