Scandinavian Airways - The Development Of This Remarkable Company

By Bernard Petronus Xavier


The time period just after the end of World War II was a prime time for new airlines to be born. Scandinavian Airlines is just one example. The one thing that marks this and other similar airlines is their resilience. It doesn't matter how competent and experienced you are, making something as complex as an airline profitable and well run is full of challenges. But what is often seen in the most successful airlines is the willingness to be daring and make bold moves. In 1954, when Scandinavia Airlines was the first airline to fly from Copenhagen to Los Angeles via the polar route, they showed the world they weren't afraid to take risks and employ new and bold ideas. That move opened up an entirely new business and revenue stream, plus it earned them incredible publicity. This report will endeavor to bring you more interesting information about Scandinavian Airlines.

With the end of the first decade of the 21st century Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS) Global was responsible for international air carrier operations. The group of nations known as Scandinavia has the Scandinavian Airlines Systems (SAS). North America and Asia are just 2 of the more than 100 destinations that Scandinavian Airlines flies to. The SAS formed the Star Alliance in the 1990's with a group of airlines and is part of the consortium.

Scandinavian Airlines made another remarkable business move in 1997. SAS, Air Canada, United Airlines, Lufthansa and Thai Airways formed a system named Star Alliance.

All airlines have done what Scandinavian Airlines has done. Expanding and capturing as much of the market as possible is the goal. Taking care of business and eventually succeeding in their efforts to garner the domestic flight routes within Scandinavia was the end product. Gaining full or partial control of the smaller airlines operating in their domestic area was how they accomplished this feat. With hard work the SAS was able to acquire Air Canada and the company that owned Continental Airlines.

We often have occasion to discuss in detail, the alliances built by SAS over the years. SAS also has dealings with code sharing, non-alliance airlines, via amicable agreements. This simply means a legally binding agreement is created between two airlines to the benefit of each. What this means for travelers is a broader availability of flights they can use to get to their destination and revenue sharing between companies depending on who holds the ticket. A few of the airlines committed to these agreements include United Airlines, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. Another common occurrence with code sharing is called schedule integration which means fewer missed flights due to connection mishaps. Scandinavia Airlines, being owned and operated by three different but adjacent countries can be challenging at times. This airline continues to do business in the same exact manner that it has from day one. But this approach has given SAS a great deal of diversity which is part of their strength. They also have ongoing business contracts that allow them to persevere.

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.
