Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is canceling 1,000 flights in April due to rising oil and jet fuel prices. This comes amid the Middle East conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Most of the canceled flights in March were on domestic routes in Norway, with a few affecting Sweden and Denmark. The airline's CEO, Anko van der Werff, stated that the cancellations are not drastic as they are designed to protect traffic. An average flight on SAS will cost 500 SEK ($53.45 USD) more per flight, while transatlantic flights will increase by about 2,700 SEK $288.62 USD.
