SAS plans to deploy first Q400 aircraft

SAS plans to deploy the first Q400 aircraft on Thursday, October 4, with the
remaining Q400 aircraft returning to operation during the following days.
Deployment of the Q400 will thus occur successively, resulting in further
cancelations during week 40. These cancelations are listed on SAS's www.sas.dk
and www.sas.se websites.

The aircraft are undergoing a number of extra inspections that SAS has chosen to
perform in addition to the replacements and inspections prescribed by the
authorities and manufacturer. The first aircraft are ready for test-flights that
will take place in the next few days.
