Scandinavian Airlines SAS has placed a firm order for 18 Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, marking its largest investment in company history. The deal, announced in Copenhagen on 30 June 2026, anchors a broader fleet modernization plan covering up to 40 widebody aircraft valued at over $10 billion list price. SAS will replace aging long-haul fleet with fuel-efficient A330neos, with deliveries expected from the early 2030s. The order signals recovery after bankruptcy in 2024 and strengthens connectivity between Scandinavia and global markets. SAS left Star Alliance in 2024 to join SkyTeam, aligning with new part-owner Air France-KLM. The deal includes 18 firm orders plus options for additional A330-300s to support near-term growth.
