Scandinavian Airlines

GFA and SAS have a partnership whereby students have the opportunity to undergo an assessment with the airline towards the end of their studies.
SAS has a fleet of modern and efficient airliners, ranging from the Embraer E195LR to the Airbus 319, 320neo, 330 and their widebody flagship, the A350. SAS can offer a long-term career path as a pilot within their company.
SAS has a comprehensive sustainability programme in which the goal is to reduce total CO₂ emissions by 25 percent before 2025, and that all domestic flights operated by SAS will be fossil-free by 2030. Their modern fleet consisting of brand-new aircraft consumes 15-30 percent less fuel than previous models, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
