Swedish government chooses SAS for domestic travel

SAS has secured a contract to provide domestic travel for Swedish government employees. The results of the procurement process were announced today by the Swedish Armed Forces Logistics, SWAFLOG, and the contract applies to all government agencies, departments, institutes of higher education and universities. For SAS, the agreement is valued at SEK 250 M, with a potential for twice this amount.

SAS secured the contract with the government for all Swedish domestic routes operated by the carrier, from Kiruna in the north to Malmö in the south. The government's main parameter was a low price.

"This shows that SAS offers attractive prices that can be compared with competitors. The size of SAS is our strength. A company often only needs to have one contract with us to satisfy all of their travel requirements. And the more extensive the agreements, the lower the price," says Lars-Ove Filipson, VP Sales and Distribution at SAS in Sweden.

"SAS has the highest number of destinations and departures. Given that we are one of the most punctual airlines in Europe, much valuable time can be saved for government employees," says Peter Viinapuu, COO of SAS in Sweden.

The agreement is valid from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010, with the option of a one-year extension. The Swedish government is the single largest and most important customer for SAS in Sweden.
Government employees mostly travel on the routes between Stockholm and Luleå, Malmö and Ronneby.

Synes støtt og stadig man hører om kontrakter for statsansatte både her og der....til det og det selskapet. Og jeg tror markedsføringsverdien for og ha "vunnet" en slik kontrakt er større enn selve verdien på selve kontrakten.

La forresten merke til denne uttalelsen, blir nesten for dumt synes jeg....jeg vil kalle det smisking.

Malmø Aviation har også "vunnet" en kontrakt:

La merke til mye slikt pompøs bullshit da jeg bodde i Kanada for ca. 10 år siden. Kanskje de kanadiske hyperbolene sprer seg på samme måte som Iberiasneglene

Gratulerer til SAS og Malmø Aviation med ny kontrakt!

Her har visstnok begge fått tildelt flyging på samme ruter i følge oppslagene. Da er vel hele poenget borte dersom de deler ut kontrakter til flere på flere strekninger?!

Ja, tenkt så dumt å si noe positivt om eget selskap i en pressemelding! Hallo....jobber ikke du i DY og vet hvordan slike ting fungerer? Hvis ikke bør du gå på kurs hos sjefen din.
