“We are
delighted to officially chart a path to SAS joining the SkyTeam
alliance,” said Patrick Roux, SkyTeam CEO. “With its global reputation for reliability, quality and
service, SAS is a great fit for SkyTeam and, as we continue to
strengthen our customer proposition, we look forward to being part
of their future journey.”

SkyTeam members serving SAS’ hubs include Air France, KLM,
Delta Air Lines and Middle East Airlines.

“We are very excited to now have reached
this pivotal milestone in SAS’ alliance transition journey,” said Anko van der Werff, SAS
President and CEO. “EuroBonus members will be able to enjoy new destinations and
benefits as part of the SkyTeam alliance family, marking the start
of an exciting future for customers, partners and employees alike.
SAS customers will benefit from SkyTeam’s strong global presence
in many of the world’s major aviation hubs and from its focus on
strategic partnerships and innovative sustainability initiatives.”
