Market trends
Market conditions in Scandinavia have temporarily stabilized and the balance
between capacity and demand has improved in comparison with 2014. SAS summer
program has been well received with incoming bookings at expected levels.
However, the competition remains very intensive in certain markets. SAS traffic
development in April 2015 is an outcome of more active yield management and
shall also be set in relation to the strong traffic growth, record high
passenger load factor and double digit decrease in the yield in April 2014.

In March 2015, SAS’ currency adjusted yield and PASK were up 8.1% and 13%

April 2015 the change in the currency adjusted yield vs. last year is expected
to be positive, and the currency adjusted PASK is expected to be close to
unchanged.
