Group market trends and yield development
SAS Group carried 3.7 million passengers in August, up 7.3%. On a 12 months
basis the Group has carried 40.7 million passengers. 

Yield for Scandinavian Airlines in July was up 3.5%. The yield is positively
affected by good capacity control, active yield management and positive effects
from the new commercial initiatives launched in March. In August 2007 the change
in yield is expected to be broadly in line with July. 

The market is categorized by good demand and the passenger volumes continue to
grow. The yield environment continues to be favorable. There are still
uncertainties regarding the strength of future growth as well as the competitive
situation and development of jet fuel prices.
