Originality And Progress Made By Scandinavian Air Carriers During The Twentieth Century

By Bernard Petronus Xavier


There are many fascinating stories of airlines in recent history, and Scandinavian Airlines is one with many twists and turns. If an airline is capable of staying in business for several decades than that proves to be something exciting. The simplest explanation is that the airline business is one of the most arduous in the world.

One of the difficulties you have to contend with is small profit margins. Most of the time, the aviation business is aligned rather close with and depending upon the force of economies locally as well as globally. Following business sequences is something that airline companies do, whether it happens to be a thriving or an impoverished time. Now with that out of the way, let us scrutinize Scandinavian Airlines and attain knowledge about this inimitable company.

If you fly quite a bit, you probably have noticed that each airline has the flag of their country of origin. People or companies that have deep roots with their country may honor this tradition. Scandinavian Airlines has been about sharing since the beginning when they formed as a partnership and business alliance. Today, the airline is owned by three countries; Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Open shares and ownership also make it possible for this company to financially compete. Throughout all of Scandinavia, SAS is the largest air carrier in the region. The airline owns a fleet of 198 aircraft and flies to almost 180 destinations around the world in 30 countries.

One feature a majority of airlines share is their predisposition to have aggressive investor and ownership portfolios. This comes as no surprise when you take into account how challenging the financial operations of an airline can be. So, one more time, SAS went through more restructuring of their financial investment holdings and ownership in the 90s. Nevertheless, this didn't stop SAS from adding other airlines to its acquisitions. They also bought 95% of Spanair, the 2nd largest airline in Spain, and Air Greenland. An agreement was reached with a Catalonian group in 2009 for SAS to divest more than 80% of its holdings in Spanair.

Currently, SAS continues its traditional role as an international airline. North America and Asia are two of Scandinavian Airline's long-distance international destinations. Almost all of the international destinations of SAS begin at their two main hubs in Stockholm and Copenhagen. Scandinavian Airlines International-SAS is the division that handles all intercontinental routes along with any sales units outside Scandinavia. They employ almost 1,000 people. Scandinavian Airlines International-SAS operates separately from the other three divisions - Scandinavia Airlines in Denmark, Scandinavia Airlines in Norway, and Scandinavia Airlines in Sweden. Maintaining consistent and reliable flights with the company that is based in three countries can have its difficulties. Despite the obvious complications that could arise, this company continues to do what it has from the start. SAS uses this to its advantage allowing it to continue now and into the future. And finally, this company has been given many business opportunities that keep it financially secure.

Taking an airplane journey can be a fun thing to do, especially if you are going somewhere amazing. More and more people are choosing to place their getaways in London. There is certainly a lot to do, such as having a tour of the world famous Buckingham Palace. This will demonstrate several remarkable issues relating to British Royalty.
