Apollo has once again chosen to extend its agreement with SAS as its main partner for its charter flights from Scandinavia in summer and winter 2020.

“We are absolutely delighted with the agreement and our longstanding partnership with Apollo. Tour operator partnerships are an important part of our strategy to seasonally adjust our capacity. SAS is now continuing to phase new and more sustainable aircraft into our fleet, and we are upgrading both cabins and the exterior of the aircraft in line with the new SAS design. We are very proud to continue to welcome Apollo customers onboard,” says Markus Ek, Vice President Global Sales at SAS.

The SAS airline fleet enables Apollo to offer direct flights from both big city and regional airports in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. SAS is Apollo’s largest external partner other than its own airline, Novair.
