The Swedish Government, through Kammarkollegiet, has decided
to extend its contract for non-domestic flights with SAS and
its Star Alliance™ partners Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian
Airlines. The contract is worth a total of SEK 700 million.
Kammarkollegiet highly valued both SAS's prices and
timetable, as it choose to extend the contract with SAS and
its partners within the Star Alliance™. The contract applies
to all flights outside Sweden.
"We are proud that the Swedish Government values our
extensive route network. We will also continue to save time
for their employees, as we have just been named Europe's
most punctual airline for the third year in a row," says
Lars-Ove Filipson, Vice President, Corporate Sales.
The top destinations for the Swedish Government's
non-domestic flights in 2011 were Brussels, London and
Copenhagen. The contract has been extended for one year until
May 31, 2013. The SAS contract is used by 265 government
authorities, departments, colleges and universities in
Sweden.
