Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), is the national airline of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Headquartered in Sigtuna outside Stockholm, Sweden, it operates out of three main hubs, Copenhagen Airport, Stockholm-Arlanda Airport and Oslo Airport, Gardermoen.[1] Owned by the eponymous SAS Group, the airline transported 22.9 million passengers to 90 destinations on an average 683 flights daily in 2011.[2] As of February 2021, SAS utilize 164 aircraft—jetliners and turboprops—consisting of 64 Boeing 737, 28 Bombardier CRJ900 operated by Nordica and Cityjet, 44 Airbus A319/A320/A321, 9 Airbus A330, 8 Airbus A350[3] and 10 ATR 72's operated by Nordica and FlyBe. In addition there are 2 Bombardier CRJ1000 leased from Air Nostrum.
The airline has operated over 700 aircraft throughout its history. It was a loyal customer of Douglas Aircraft Company and its successor McDonnell Douglas, operating 290 aircraft and all major models from the DC-3 through the MD-90, except for the MD-11 and the MD-95 (AKA: Boeing 717-200). Boeing is the second-largest manufacturer, with 127 aircraft, of which 105 were 737s. Other manufacturers have been Fokker (51 aircraft), Bombardier (40), Airbus (29), Convair (22), Sud Aviation (21), Saab (14), Vickers (9), ATR (6), British Aerospace (3), British Aircraft Corporation (2), Junkers (2) and Shorts (2). SAS has been the launch customer of the Saab Scandia,[4] the Sud Aviation Caravelle,[5] the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-20 and -40[6] and the Boeing 737-600.[7] SAS was the sole customer of the DC-9-20;[8] the DC-9-40 served SAS for 34 years—longer than any other model.[9] Fourteen aircraft have been involved in hull-loss accidents, four of which were fatal.[10]
SAS started as a cooperation between Norwegian Air Lines (DNL), Aerotransport (ABA), Swedish Intercontinental Airlines (SILA) and Danish Air Lines (DDL), who created Overseas Scandinavian Airlines System (OSAS) in 1946 and European Scandinavian Airlines System (ESAS) two years later. The airlines merged to create the SAS consortium in 1951.[11] In the early years, SAS would rapidly purchase the newest intercontinental aircraft and gradually relegate them to European and then domestic service.[12] The Caravelle was introduced in 1959 as SAS' first jetliner; intercontinental jet services commenced with the Douglas DC-8 the following year. The consortium created Scanair as a charter sister company in 1961.[13] SAS Commuter was created in 1984 to operate regional airliners.[14] The last such aircraft were retired in 2010.[15] SAS bought its main competitors Linjeflyg of Sweden in 1993[16] and Braathens of Norway in 2001;[17] the latter was merged to operate as SAS Braathens in Norway between 2004 and 2007.[18][19]
