Lay-offs At SAS Part Of The Plan
A new Scandinavian Airlines organization was
established Friday, hoping showcase that SAS Airlines' Improvement
Program (Plan C), which was presented in conjunction with the
Group's Year-end Report earlier this spring. Plan C is based on the
SAS Group's requirement that each operation within the Group
achieve sustainable profitability and competitiveness.

As a result of the implementation of the new organization, a
surplus of administrative personnel will arise. This surplus is
included in the figure of 4,000 excess employees announced earlier
in conjunction with Plan C.
The new organization is based on regional earnings
responsibility, with strategic guidelines. The new organization has
eight functions, all of which report directly to the COO and
Airline President, Soren Belin.

Central Functions:

processes, implementing Scandinavian Airlines' improvement programs
(Plans B and C), and providing proactive support for the COO in
