SAS hits over 100,000 passengers in a single day — four times in 2025

Scandinavian Airlines has reached a new milestone in passenger numbers: on four separate days so far in 2025, more than 100,000 travelers flew with SAS — the highest daily volume since November 2019. 

That’s over 100,000 people choosing SAS. In one day. Four times. 

With the best on-time performance in the world*, SAS continues to welcome more travelers back on board — whether for business, reunions, or long-awaited holidays. 

“This milestone is more than numbers — it shows that passengers value reliability, service, and our commitment to leading the transformation of our industry to reduce its climate impact,” says Erik Westman, Chief Revenue Officer at SAS. “We’re proud to be part of our passengers’ journeys, and as we head into a busy summer season, we continue to invest in the future of aviation — with modern aircraft, smarter operations, and a clear focus on sustainability and efficiency.” 

The strong demand reflects a wider recovery in travel across Scandinavia and beyond, with SAS expanding its capacity to meet growing interest in both regional and international destinations. Popular routes include Barcelona and Athens, and SAS’ EuroBonus loyalty program continues to see increasing engagement.
