Dear colleagues,

 

These are challenging times. Especially now that we are slowly ramping up the traffic program, while at the same time being concerned about perhaps our own as well as ourvalued colleagues’ future. As SAS adjusts to a post-corona market reality we have created the following news summary, to make staying informed as easy as possible.

Updates on current situation

  • Thursday you were invited to a Teams Live Event with Chief of Staff Carina Malmgren Heander and HR Vice President Andreas Krantz regarding the ongoing redundancy processes. You can (re)watch itHERE.

  • We stand together: Some of our air crew colleagues in China have made this video which is inspired by a video that some of our cabin crew colleagues in Denmark made just before the news about layoffs were announced. “We are very inspired by the video our Danish colleagues made, and we are touched by their faith and enthusiasm. Then we got this idea to make a sister interactive version of the dance to express our faith in SAS and that we may be geographically far away but close by in our hearts,” explains one of the women in the video.
