Scandinavian Airlines announced a historic $10 billion order for up to 40 Airbus A330 widebody aircraft, the largest deal in its history. The mix includes 18 firm orders plus 10 options for new A330-900neo jets and nine used A330-300 units to support near-term growth until 2030 deliveries begin. SAS expands long-haul operations and strengthens its Copenhagen hub following Chapter 11 bankruptcy exit in 2024 under Air France-KLM-led ownership. The investment projects 25,000 jobs in Denmark and 4,000 in southern Sweden, with €66 billion economic impact by 2030. Fleet commonality avoids new pilot training and spare-parts inventories, reinforcing the A330neo role in long-haul recovery while modernizing the operator’s fleet for the 2030s.
