Market adaptation of operations in SAS Technical Services
Market adaptation of operations in SAS Technical Services
At the Board meeting of SAS Technical Services AB on June 29, 2005, the
Board announced that it had assigned the management of SAS Technical
Services AB to continue the market-adaptation of the company. SAS
Technical Services conducts operations in a market characterized by
surplus capacity and price pressure. Medium-heavy and heavy aircraft
maintenance is particularly subject to competition.
As a result, the company will now proceed with local efficiency
enhancement, cost reductions and further development of production units
in Norway and Sweden. Line maintenance in Norway must also be adapted to
the market.
These restructuring measures are part of the SAS Group's Turnaround 2005
program and involve a reduction of about 120 jobs for medium-heavy and
heavy maintenance and about 80 jobs in line maintenance. Implementation
of this is expected to be completed before the summer of 2006.
SAS Technical Services AB is a company that is wholly owned by the SAS
Group. Its operations comprise technical aircraft maintenance and
logistics for approximately 250 aircraft. The number of employees totals
3,700 and the company has production bases at Stockholm Arlanda,
Copenhagen Kastrup, Oslo Gardermoen, Stavanger Sola, Bergen, Gothenburg
and Tallinn. Sales amount to approximately SEK 5 billion annually.
