SAS Partners with Plan3 for Passenger Disruption Management

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has finalized a three-year partnership with Plan3, a company focused on technology solutions for managing passenger disruptions. This collaboration represents an investment by SAS to bolster its systems and capabilities for assisting travelers when operations are impacted by unforeseen events.

The aviation industry is facing an increasingly complex landscape of disruptions, including severe weather, geopolitical instability, and industrial actions. These events can rapidly affect flight schedules, leaving many passengers requiring immediate support. SAS aims to improve its operational resilience and its capacity to respond swiftly and consistently to large-scale disruptions.

Plan3 offers a platform designed to consolidate passenger recovery processes, enabling airlines to manage disruptions efficiently and provide appropriate solutions to affected passengers. The technology is built to integrate with existing airline systems, allowing for the implementation of new recovery capabilities without requiring the replacement of core infrastructure.

With an 80-year history connecting Scandinavia with the world, SAS has built its reputation on operational excellence and passenger care. The introduction of Plan3 is expected to provide SAS's operational teams with enhanced tools for managing passenger recovery during disruptions, offering greater visibility and control during challenging periods.

Lars Johansson, Vice President OCC & Punctuality at SAS, stated that while disruptions are unavoidable, preparedness and passenger support are controllable aspects. Simon Dempsey, Chief Commercial Officer at Plan3's creators, AviLabs, highlighted SAS's proactive approach to disruption and the necessity of modernizing passenger recovery processes. This partnership expands Plan3's network of airline clients across multiple continents.
