The concept has been developed on the basis of feedback from customers and cabin crew.

SAS is developing its service concept and updating its offering onboard.  The new café range is part of a new food and beverage concept, where SAS is focusing on functionality, natural ingredients and high quality from local producers, as well as a wider and improved range of options. The concept has been developed on the basis of in-depth insights from both SAS customers and cabin crew.

“We know that food and drink are an important part of the travel experience,” says Gustaf Öholm, Head of onboard product and services. “That’s why we are excited to launch a new, high-quality food and beverage concept, where the service and packaging are also designed to give our travelers an even better overall experience. We’re starting with the range available from our coffee cart, which from now on will mainly be offering products from Scandinavian brands.”

The new range of snacks and beverages contains premium products from local suppliers. Although favorites from the big international brands will continue to be part of the range, the majority will come from some of Scandinavia’s best brands.
