The SAS Group Annual Report 2001 The SAS Group Annual Report 2001 & Summary of Environmental Report www.scandinavian.net The worst air disaster in the history of SAS October 8, 2001, was a tragic day for SAS. The worst disaster in the company’s history occurred when flight SK686 from Milan to Copenhagen crashed on take-off and 118 people lost their lives. We mourn the loss of our colleagues, passengers and others who perished in the accident. Our thoughts still go to the relatives and friends of whose who died. The powerlessness and dismay we feel about this disaster will affect SAS for a long time and can only fulfill a constructive purpose if efforts to improve flight safety are further increased in the industry as a whole. Jørgen Lindegaard Presenting the SAS Group Since July 6, 2001, the SAS Group has had a single share through SAS AB, listed on the stock exchanges in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. The principal owners of SAS AB are the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish states. Private interests Danish State Norwegian State Swedish State SAS AB Four business areas The SAS Group has a consolidated operating revenue of SEK 51.4 billion and a total of 31,035 employees. The Group is divided into four business areas: • SAS Airline comprises SAS’s passenger transport services with its own aircraft and under its own brand. The business area includes the production company SAS Commuter as well as the independent business units Scandinavian Ground Services and Scandinavian Technical Services. • Subsidiary & Affiliated Airlines comprises other airlines within the Group. The airline Braathens was acquired in 2001. Widerøe and Air Botnia were already SAS owned. In autumn 2001, an agreement was concluded to increase the holding in Spanair from 49% to 74%. The agreement is currently being examined by the EU Com- mission. Affiliated companies include Skyways, Cimber Air, British Midland, airBaltic and Grønlandsfly. • Airline Related Businesses includes SAS Cargo, Jetpak, SMART, SAS Trading, SAS Hosting and SAS Media – all of which make most of their sales to external customers.

After September 11, demand fell sharply. Some recovery in traffic occurred towards year-end. • The SAS Group’s operating revenue increased by MSEK 3,893, or 8.2%, from MSEK 47,540 to MSEK 51,433, of which MSEK 937 was higher passenger revenue. • Earnings before depreciation, EBITDA, amounted to MSEK 743 (3,710). The gross profit margin fell from 7.8% to 1.4%. Depreciation increased by MSEK 251 mainly due to investment in aircraft. The Group’s capital gains from the sale of aircraft and buildings amounted to MSEK 673 (490). Income before tax amounted to MSEK –1,140 (2,829). • The SAS Group’s investments including prepayments amounted to MSEK 11,374 (9,911) for the year. • The SAS Group’s liquid assets at December 31, 2001, amounted to MSEK 11,662 (8,979). A number of bond loans were issued during the year for a total of MEUR 600. • Efforts to adapt operations to the lower demand affected the SAS Group during the autumn. It was decided to implement measures to reduce capacity in SAS Airline, resulting in a total redundancy of approximately 3,500 positions. Reduction of aircraft capacity and suspension of certain routes has an annual effect of MSEK 500 and other measures are expected to have an earnings improvement effect on an annual basis of MSEK 2,400. Action has also been taken to raise revenues by MSEK 2,200 on an annual basis. • Rezidor SAS Hospitality opened and/or rebranded ten hotels during the year. Like the airline industry, the hotel industry was hard hit by the economic downturn and the events in September 2001. Revenues for the full year amounted to MSEK 3,510 (3,122). • Earnings per share for the full year 2001 for the SAS Group amounted to SEK –6.58 (12.98) and equity per share amounted to SEK 96.06 (106.50). • A groupwide sustainability policy was drafted in 2001. This was approved by Group Management in February 2002 and will be introduced throughout the Group in the coming year.

  • Delivering Excellent Service Quality in Low Cost Aviation
    MASTER THESIS IMM – International Marketing & Management DELIVERING EXCELLENT SERVICE QUALITY IN LOW COST AVIATION A Process Perspective on the Passenger Market in Copenhagen Airport December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Advisor: Jesper Clement COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Preface The following thesis is composed on the basis of empirical data collected at Norwegian, Cimber Sterling and six individual airline passengers. I would like to thank Lone Koch (Vice President of Product Management, Cimber Sterling ) and Johan Bisgaard Larsen (Marketing Manager, Norwegian - CPH ) for the kindness and dedication. They contributed with precious information in devising the problem statement and further made the execution of the questionnaire survey possible. Further, I would like to thank Adam Høyer ( Co+Hoegh ), Christoffer Casparij ( Væksthus Sjælland ), Lene Susgaard Henriksen ( Novo Nordisk ), Morten Kaaber ( Muuto New Nordic ), Ditte Clément ( CBS ) and Line Lundø ( CBS ) for contributing with valuable information in the focus group interview. Finally, I would like to thank my advisor Jesper Clement for being a committed and pleasant advisor and sparring partner throughout the entire process. Since the number of pages in thesis exceeds 80 pages a calculation of the magnitude has been made to keep the record straight. The calculation are based on the assumption that one normal page corresponds to 2275 characters and one figure corresponds to 800 characters. Thus the actual number of pages is calculated; (169.675 + (800*16)/2275 = 80,2 pages). Consequently, the thesis keeps within the specified boundaries. Copenhagen, December 2009 Rasmus Lindstrøm Jensen Executive Summary This thesis explores the concept of service quality and customer satisfaction with low cost airlines in Copenhagen Airport.

Abstract Keywords: 2 1. Introduction Air traffic is one of the factors influencing and, at the same time, showing the position of a city in the world-city hierarchy. There is a positive correlation between higher volumes of air passenger and cargo flows, urban growth and the position in the urban hierarchy of the knowledge economy (Goetz, 1992; Rodrigue, 2004; Taylor, 2004; Derudder and Witlox, 2005, 2008; Bel and Fageda, 2008). In relation to the configuration of mega-city regions, Hall (2009) remarks that it is key to understand how information moves in order to achieve face-to-face communication and, over long distances, it will continue to move by air, through the big international airports (Shin and Timberlake, 2000). This paper deals with the allocation of seat capacity among all EU and US airports over a period of 20 years.

However, towards the end of the decade, a global economic downturn, high oil prices and new forms of competition turned the industry towards troubled times. The European air-travel industry had to face and accept the new airline business concept, called low-cost or no-frill airlines. In these conditions, traditional airlines had to rethink their strategies and question the old business model. As a response to the competition, European traditional full-service airlines formed alliances or networks to expand the route network and to increase efficiency. Although joint actions of airlines within alliances started to grow, full-service airlines continued to report losses in the weak business environment, in which the low-cost airlines were growing. This thesis aims at identifying the strategic decisions the European traditional airlines have made during the recent downturn in the industry and how the case companies perceive customer value in the alliance they are members of.
