The carrier has eight A330-300 and eight A340-300. SAS says it will use the additional aircraft, acquired through a sale and lease transaction, to replace one of its A340s.

He says he has been using one of his A340s primarily as a "standby" aircraft and adds that the introduction of the A330 will reduce fuel consumption and ensure that its long-range fleet has a consistent cabin interior.

Airbus has confirmed the agreement for the Twinjet, which occurs only a few days after the decision of SAS to order 50 A320neos for the modernization of the short-haul fleet.

SAS plans to replenish its long-range fleet with the A350-900, of which it has requested eight.
