Group market trends, RASK and yield development

During July 2011, currency adjusted RASK was unchanged versus previous
year and yield was down 1.8%, both slightly below guidance. For August
2011, (change vs last year) currency adjusted RASK and yield are
expected to be broadly in line with or slightly better than July.

The market growth continues to be good, but, remains unpredictable due
to added capacity in certain markets, risk in the global economy and
risk of continued high jet fuel prices.

Scandinavian Airlines is continuously improving its customer offering,
that is also reflected in a clearly improved customer satisfaction that
is the highest in eleven years.
