Regional Jet OÜ takes over ATR production for SAS

As a replacement for Jet Time, SAS has concluded an agreement with Regional Jet OÜ, which will be flying four ATR72-600 aircraft for SAS from August. SAS has concluded an agreement with Regional Jet OÜ, which will mainly operate routes to and from Copenhagen with four ATR72-600s. The other Jet Time production will be solved by a reduction in services and by redistributing existing capacity to other types of aircraft. Since November 2016 when the agreements with Jet Time were wound up, the company has been working to find a new wet lease operator which can operate SAS’s regional services with ATR72s. The agreement with Regional Jet OÜ spans six years but can be terminated after three. The four ATR72-600s that will be flying for SAS, in SAS’s colors, will be staffed mainly by Copenhagen-based crews on local agreements.
