SAS: Yield environment more stable but expects negative RASK trend in FY2012/2013

SAS stated (06-Sep-2013) the market is developing as per its expectations. The carrier said, "Despite the fact that the yield environment has been somewhat more stable in 2013, the SAS Group continues to predict a negative RASK trend for the full financial year 2012/13. The capacity increase for the financial year 2012/13 is expected to be approximately 5-6%". The carrier also noted, "In August 2013, the change in yield and RASK vs last year is also expected to be negative due to the increased number of longer leisure routes during the holiday season".
