So, I read that SAS is finally retiring their A340s this year. I think it's about time, but I'm also a bit nostalgic. Those planes have been around for a while, and I remember my first long-haul experience on one. Anyway, they're replacing them with A350s. Seems like a smart move, especially with fuel efficiency and all that.
But I'm curious how this'll affect their routes. SAS has been flying the A340s on long-haul routes like to Asia and the US, and I wonder if the A350 will shake things up a bit. Anyone know if they're planning on adding new routes or increasing frequency because of the new aircraft? Also, how do you think this change will impact their competitive edge against other European carriers?
I feel like fleet updates are always a big deal for airlines, and this one could be interesting to watch. What do you all think?
