SAS Group: "The currency adjusted yield for Scandinavian Airlines in October 2010 was down 4.3%, but was more than offset by improved load factor resulting in an increased RASK of 1.5%. The yield and RASK in November is expected to continue the trend with relatively flat RASK development but continued yield pressure," Source: Company statement, 07-Dec-2010.
