SAS in talks with Boeing and Airbus on large widebody order

SAS AB is negotiating with Boeing and Airbus on a large widebody jet order, the carrier’s CEO told Bloomberg, reflecting a bet on rising long‑haul travel demand. If formalised, the deal would reshape SAS’s fleet plan and compete for limited OEM widebody delivery slots.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

A confirmed widebody purchase would compete for limited OEM delivery slots and affect Airbus/Boeing allocations, joining recent A350/787 commitments such as China Airlines' A350 order and the undisclosed eight‑ship A350 purchase.
The talks occur amid strategic moves around SAS’s ownership and network — see Air France‑KLM’s push to expand SAS operations and the ongoing Ryanair legal challenge over state aid, which together shape financing and competitive dynamics.
The signal of strengthening long‑haul demand in Europe has fleet and lessor implications; comparable long‑haul commitments (for example, Somon Air’s 787 order) underline consequences for capacity planning and market competition.
