Scandinavian Airlines, often shortened to SAS (previously Scandinavian Airlines System and legally Scandinavian Airlines System Denmark-Norway-Sweden) is the flag carrier of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and the largest airline in Scandinavia.
Part of the SAS Group and headquartered at the SAS Frösundavik Office Building in Solna, Sweden, the airline operates 182 aircraft to 90 destinations. The airline's main hub is at Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport, with connections to over 50 cities in Europe. Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (with more than 30 European connections) and Oslo Airport, Gardermoen are the other major hubs.[3] Minor hubs also exist at Bergen Airport, Flesland, Göteborg Landvetter Airport, Stavanger Airport, Sola and Trondheim Airport, Værnes. While SAS Cargo is an independent and wholly owned subsidiary to Scandinavian Airlines, SAS Cargo has its main office at Copenhagen Airport.
In 2012, SAS carried 25.9 million passengers, achieving revenues of SEK 36 billion. This makes it the eighth-largest airline in Europe. The SAS fleet consists of Airbus A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340, Boeing 737 Next Generation, and Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. In addition, SAS also wetleases ATR 72, Saab 2000 and Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft.
The airline was founded in 1946 as a consortium to pool the transatlantic operations of Svensk Interkontinental Lufttrafik, Det Norske Luftfartselskap and Det Danske Luftfartselskab. The consortium was extended to cover European and domestic cooperation two years later. In 1951, all the airlines were merged to create SAS.
SAS is also one of the founding members of the world's largest alliance, Star Alliance.
PrivatAir is a Swiss airline operating business jets, headquartered at Geneva Airport in Meyrin. It operates scheduled services for other airlines as well as charter flights for corporations or VIPs.
PrivatAir is made up of three key divisions: Scheduled Services, Business Aviation which includes aircraft management, charter, sales, PrivatJetFuel and ground services, and PrivatTraining:
PrivatAir specialises in scheduled and charter flights using mid-sized, long-range jets. Its main base is Geneva International Airport with further contracted operational bases at Frankfurt Airport, Germany (operating for Lufthansa), Stavanger Airport, Sola, Norway (operating for Scandinavian Airlines), and Maya-Maya Airport, Republic of the Congo (operating for ECAir).
PrivatAir's Business Aviation department is designed to provide every aspect of service surrounding any aviation needs covering Aircraft Management, Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions, Aircraft Charter, AirClub (leading corporate jet alliance), PrivatJetFuel (Fuel Management) and Ground Services (PrivatPort).
PrivatTraining are a specialist in-house training department focusing on safety, security and service in the industry. They also provide training for private jet operators, offering tailored programmes designed to help other private jet operators fulfill their regulatory obligations.
The Boeing BBJ is primarily a 737 commercial airframe with modifications to provide for private jet service. The BBJ1 is based on a 737-700 airframe, with elements from the 737-800. The BBJ2 and BBJ3 are based on the 737-800 and 737-900ER series, respectively.
All 11models include changes to the airframe regardless of the BBJ series. Fokker Services are developing 1.5–meter wide windows for the BBJ in 2016.
Changes from the normal 737 include:
Blended winglets for additional fuel economy (3–5% improvement) as standard (winglets are optional on airliner 737s)
Self-contained airstairs for disembarking at airports with limited ground support
Additional fuel tanks, for intercontinental range ETOPS-180 certification
After the launch of the BBJ, Airbus followed suit with the launch of the Airbus ACJ derived from its A319 commercial airframe. It has also launched the larger A320 and the smaller A318 Elite. Other competitors at the smaller end of the market include the Embraer Lineage, the Bombardier Global Express, the Gulfstream G550 and the Gulfstream G650. A BBJ may cost around US$10/mile to operate, whereas the G650 and similar may cost $5–6.
