Poland/Enterprises/Airlines <br> <br> <br> <br>Warsaw (Puls Biznesu) – SAS, the Scandinavian airlines, resigned from the Szczecin-Kopenhaga route, which was going to be launched this year. Polish passengers had already booked tickets. ‘It turned out that the route had no future, and the plane was much more needed on the Jonkoping route’, Wanda Brociek, SAS Poland sales director explained. <br> <br>SAS is not only cutting routes but it also withdraws from its low-cost project Snowflake. ‘It is not going to be a stormy process. We will start from changing some seats in traditional planes’, Karl-Goran Karlsson, SAS Poland managing director said. The offer will also be called Snowflake. There will be up to 15 cheaper seats in each plane. The tickets will be sold in internet. ‘SAS was strong as regional airline. After it was divided, the carrier lost its strength. Now, only deep restructuring may be a chance for the airline’, Wlodzimierz Rydzkowski, from transport department in Uniwersytet Gdanski university commented. <br>
