SAS has announced the largest aircraft investment in its history: Copenhagen is going to become a much more serious global hub.
The order includes new Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, along with additional Airbus A330-300 aircraft to support nearer-term growth before the new jets arrive. The plan includes 18 firm A330-900neos, options for 10 more, and 12 used A330-300s.
To put that in perspective, SAS currently operates only 14 longhaul aircraft, eight Airbus A330s and six Airbus A350s, so even the firm A330neo order alone would more than double its longhaul fleet. Including the used A330-300s, SAS could roughly triple its intercontinental fleet, before even counting options.
