After many years of dedicated service and an excellent career within SAS Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Simon Pauck Hansen, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, will leave SAS.
The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the aviation market has demanded significant changes for SAS and Pauck Hansen has played a key role in the process of taking SAS through the largest crisis ever experienced by the aviation industry and in preparing SAS for a competitive future facing the new market reality. He has been instrumental in implementing the SAS Forward Plan and the main components under his responsibility are now realised or planned as SAS is entering the next phase of the business transformation plan.
Pauck Hansen hands over the responsibility to Mikael Wångdahl, currently VP SAS Link and External Production, who will assume the role as acting Chief Operating Officer. Wångdahl brings extensive knowledge from the aviation sector as well as long operational experience from SAS. The handover is in process and will be completed during the month of January 2023.
