2012-10-4 — /travelprnews.com/ — Before the summer, SAS and Apollo signed a record agreement worth SEK 920 million. Now Apollo has once again chosen SAS as its external partner for flying its customers. During negotiations, SAS’s punctuality was valued highly by Apollo. Another key factor was SAS’s flexible aircraft fleet, which enables Apollo to offer direct flights from regional airports in Sweden, Norway and Denmark

“Our priority is to offer our customers a flight product of high quality. After having cooperated a long time with SAS, we know that they deliver a flight product that is punctual, flexible and of high quality. That’s why we once again sign a new contract with SAS for the winter season, says Mats Dahlquist, COO of Kuoni Nordic.”

“We know how highly our customers value our punctuality and we understand that this is just as important for Apollo’s customers. We are very pleased to retain Apollo’s trust to fly its customers during the winter season and we are looking forward to welcoming them on board Europe’s Most Punctual Airline,” says Annelie Nässén, VP Global Agent Sales, SAS

The agreement between SAS and Apollo covers over 900 flights, with several departures from regional airports in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
