SAS to Launch Business Program for SMEs

SAS is preparing to launch a new program designed to make it easier for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to book tickets and get a discount immediately at the time of purchase.

SMEs using the new SAS For Business program will find booking tickets with a discount simpler and more transparent. The program launches 1 June 2018.

"We know that time is an important factor for our corporate customers. Which is why we are launching SAS For Business, that not only saves customers time, but also makes the process far more transparent as they can see how their discount agreement works at the same time," said Markus Ek, VP Corporate and Agent Sales at SAS.

SME customers can today use the SAS Credits program to earn credits that can later be used to buy new SAS tickets. Now, the credit will be available immediately as a discount. The discount itself will depend on the business agreement the SME has with SAS and whether a Go, Plus or Business ticket is booked.

"We have been in dialog with SME customers concerning what kind of program they would like for some time now. What’s important for them is that the program is easy to understand and manage. We have listened to them," said Markus Ek.

The new program is aimed at SMEs of which SAS currently has 64,000 customers.

SAS Credits can continue to be earned until 30 June and any outstanding credits must be used for bookings by 31 December 2018, although the flights can be taken in 2019.
