Celebrating its 70th birthday, SAS brings upgrades to its entire short- and medium-haul fleet with new connectivity options and cabin upgrades.
Now offering the fastest in-flight WiFi in Europe, SAS gives passengers onboard speeds of 12 Mbps and higher, with high-quality, gate-to-gate streaming capabilities. Additionally, crewmembers now use WiFi-enabled iPad Minis to assist passengers throughout the entire flight. The new connectivity debuts on flights in the latter half of next year. Service is free for EuroBonus members and SAS Plus ticket holders on short-haul flights.
“Many of our customers are frequent flyers and we play an important part in the lives of many people. The upgrade we implemented on our long-haul aircraft gained a very positive reception and we are now upgrading our short- and medium-haul fleet, which will also include high-speed WiFi with speeds that enable time onboard to be utilized for work or to relax and enjoy a streamed movie or TV series. As both passengers and crew onboard are now connected, we can take our personal service to greater heights while continuing to develop our digital, smart solutions that make life easier,” says Rickard Gustafson, president and CEO, SAS.
Cabin upgrades come with more legroom, new seats, extra USB outlets and a unique lighting system. New cabins appear first on the Airbus A320neo and are similar to the cabin design currently available on SAS long-haul routes. By mid-2019, SAS expects the new short- and medium-haul cabins to appear on 100 aircraft.
