More than a million passengers chose to fly withSAS , which is an increase of almost 70% compared with June. Capacity was raised during the month with increased frequency and destinations. The load factor ended at 60%, which is the highest number sinceFebruary 2020 . "We see the numbers improving gradually which is pleasing.

Remaining travel restrictions are still affecting passengers and we do everything possible to give our customers a smooth travel experience.SAS is offering flexible tickets and rebooking possibilities. We also provide digital tools which help passengers track updates to restrictions to make it easier to travel," says Anko van der Werff, President and CEO atSAS .
