During the month we announced the routes for the first new Airbus A350, which will enter service in January 2020. The A350 is the most fuel-efficient long-haul aircraft available, emitting 30% less CO2 compared to previous generation of aircraft. We see a demand for more sustainable air travel and this is an important step on our ambitious path to reduce emissions," says Rickard Gustafson, CEO of SAS.
