Scandinavian Airlines, SAS, was founded in August 1946 as a consortium of the national airlines of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Over the years, SAS has established itself as an innovative, pioneering airline. In the 1960s it became the first airline in the world to fly over the North Pole and in 1962 was awarded the Christopher Columbus Prize - often called the Nobel Prize of communication - in recognition of its pioneering transpolar flights. In 1952 SAS was the first airline in the world to introduce Tourist Class, a discounted ticket with certain conditions. The entire airline industry later followed suit.

Today, SAS shall offer the market’s most sought-after products. Its offerings are based on giving customers flexible, value-for-money air travel with great freedom of choice-completely depending on the customer’s need for flexibility and comfort.

SAS is in the forefront of the industry in relation to environmental concerns, and aims to

Be seen as the most environment-conscious airline in Europe

Have 20% lower emissions by 2020 with traffic growth included

Have the industry’s most efficient fuel saving program

In line with IATA’s vision, the overarching long-term goal for SAS’ environmental work is to have zero emissions no later than 2050

With 25,4 million passengers a year SAS is one of the largest airlines in Europe. Each day SAS operates more than 820 flights. SAS was founded in the spirit of international cooperation. This same spirit was applied in May 1997 when SAS founded Star Alliance together with Air Canada, Lufthansa, United Airlines and Thai Airways International, offering convenient connections throughout an integrated global traffic system.

北欧航空公司 (SAS) 成立于 1946 年 8 月，由丹麦、挪威和瑞典三国的国家航空公司联合而组成。

多年以来，北欧航空公司为其自身树立起了一个创新、领先的航空公司形象。 在六十年代，该公司成为世界上首家飞经北极的航空公司，并于 1962 年荣获 Christopher Columbus 奖（常被誉为沟通领域的诺贝尔奖），以此见证其飞经极点的创举。 在 1952 年，北欧航空公司是世界上引入旅行者舱位（在特定条件下可以享受该折扣票价）的首家航空公司。 此后，整个航空界行业都以此为例，纷纷仿效。

现在，北欧航空公司为市场提供广受欢迎的服务。 它可以根据乘客在灵活性与舒适性方面的不同需求，为其提供经济灵活的航空服务，并具有极大的选择自由。

北欧航空公司在环保方面堪称业界的楷模，致力于

成为欧洲最关注环境的航空公司

到 2020 年降低排放 20%，同时保持运量的进一步增长

北欧航空公司的年客运量达 2,540 万，是欧洲最大的航空公司之一。 北欧航空公司每天运营 820 个航班。 北欧航空公司本着国际合作的原则成立。 在 1997 年 5 月，当北欧航空公司与加拿大航空公司、汉莎航空公司、美国联合航空公司和泰国国际航空公司共同成立星空联盟时，相同的理念得以应用，从而在整个全球交通系统中提供了诸多便利的连接。
