SAS and Apollo sign million dollar agreement

Apollo is developing its partnership with SAS and has signed another million
dollar agreement ahead of the winter season. As a result, Apollo’s customers
will be flying on SAS aircraft from 13 different locations in Sweden, Norway and
Denmark to 8 destinations around the world. The contract is worth a total of SEK
590 million.
Before the summer, SAS and Apollo signed a record agreement worth SEK 920
million. Now Apollo has once again chosen SAS as its external partner for flying
its customers. During negotiations, SAS’s punctuality was valued highly by
Apollo. Another key factor was SAS’s flexible aircraft fleet, which enables
Apollo to offer direct flights from regional airports in Sweden, Norway and
Denmark

”Our priority is to offer our customers a flight product of high quality. After
having cooperated a long time with SAS, we know that they deliver a flight
product that is punctual, flexible and of high quality. That’s why we once again
sign a new contract with SAS for the winter season, says Mats Dahlquist, COO of
Kuoni Nordic.”

“We know how highly our customers value our punctuality and we understand that
this is just as important for Apollo’s customers. We are very pleased to retain
Apollo’s trust to fly its customers during the winter season and we are looking
forward to welcoming them on board Europe’s Most Punctual Airline,” says Annelie
Nässén, VP Global Agent Sales, SAS

The agreement between SAS and Apollo covers over 900 flights, with several
departures from regional airports in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
