Scandinavian Airlines-SAS (Stockholm) has been for the past three years the most punctual airline in Norway. To celebrate this accomplishment, and probably to mock its competitor Norwegian Air Shuttle (Norwegian.com) (Oslo), known for its images of famous Norwegians on the tails, SAS has introduced this new logojet. SAS held a “most punctual person” contest in Norway. A picture of the winner of the competition has been applied to the tail of SAS’ Boeing 737-883 LN-RCY (msn 28324). The winner also won 100,000 Krones (around $17,200). It is probably a good bet this “most punctual person” will not be flying on Norwegian any time soon.

In other news, Norwegian Trade Minister Trond Giske has called the SAS losses reported this week as “troublesome”. SAS, owned by Sweden, Norway and Denmark, reported a pretax loss of $163 million in the first quarter according to Reuters. The Norwegian government is not too excited about putting any more capital into the loss-making airline according to this article by Views and News from Norway.
