SAS CEO Gets Candid About Leaving Star Alliance For SkyTeam

SAS was a founding member of the Star Alliance 27 years ago. The airline, the largest operator in the Nordics, will switch to SkyTeam on September 1. This date was officially announced on April 29. However, SAS disclosed in early April that it’d leave Star on August 31, so it was hardly surprising it would join SkyTeam the next day. Speaking at Routes Europe in Aarhus, this is what SAS CEO Anko van der Werff said about moving alliances.
