STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Group market trends and yield development
The yield for Scandinavian Airlines in August was down by 8.8 %in line with guidance. For September 2009, the change in yield is also expected to be negative indicating continued yield pressure going forward. In addition, the improvement in passenger load factor did not continue in September. This development will have a negative impact on the 4th quarter result. The SAS Group is currently implementing a new strategic approach – Core SAS - to secure a future profitable SAS. The strategy includes cost reduction initiatives of SEK 4.5 bn as well as a 20% reduction in capacity. The implementation is well on track. An additional SEK 2.0 bn cost savings program was initiated in August 2009. Negotiations with unions with the objective to reduce costs is ongoing. The market continues to be unpredictable and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the recovery is considerable.
