Group market trends and yield development
SAS Group carried 4 million passengers in June, up 6.9%, and has now on a 12
months basis passed 40 million passengers. SAS Group traffic increased 6.6%
during June and capacity was up 6.7%. The passenger load factor was marginally
down to 76.4%.
Yield for Scandinavian Airlines in May was up 7.6%. The yield is positively
affected by good capacity control, active yield management and positive effects
from the new commercial initiatives launched in March. In June 2007 the change
in yield is expected to be in line or slightly lower than for May. 
The total market continues to grow and yield environment is favorable. There are
still uncertainties regarding the strength of future growth as well as the
competitive situation and development of jet fuel prices.
