Airbus in talks to secure SAS widebody deal: up to 20 A330neo and A350 aircraft

Airbus is closing in on a major widebody order from Scandinavian carrier SAS, with the airline reportedly weighing 15 to 20 new long-haul jets. The package is expected to mix Airbus A330neo and A350 aircraft, framed by SAS’s need to lock delivery slots and expand its long-distance network.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • A potential SAS commitment of up to 20 widebodies would be a meaningful Near-Term booking and delivery-planning catalyst for Airbus’ widebody programs, directly tying airline fleet growth to OEM slot management.
  • The reported mix of A330neo and A350 highlights continued carrier efforts to optimize long-haul unit costs across twin-aisle routes, echoing other recent long-haul fleet decision points such as Qantas’ widebody talks.
  • For European long-haul capacity planning, SAS’s move would signal competitive pressure on route and aircraft mix strategies—particularly as other carriers adjust widebody deployment and schedules, including Singapore Airlines’ next-decade widebody discussions.
