History of SAS

In August of 1946, SAS was officially founded in efforts to regulate the intercontinental air traffic between Scandinavian countries. In 1954 SAS was the first airline in the world to ever fly across the Arctic and North Pole, with cheap flights to Los Angeles from Copenhagen. SAS also began operating flights to Asia, primarily Japan, over the Arctic as well since it was prohibited from flying over China and Russia. SAS was one of the founding members of Star Alliance, now one of the leading global airline alliances. In 2004 the company formally divided into four equal sections to better service particular areas; however they all retain SAS in their name.
