While Norwegian representatives said the manoeuvre would allow the low-cost airline to start flying intercontinental routes, industry analysts said it put SAS on the defensive, since the airline, which is partly owned by the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian states, has declared it would not pursue similar cost-cutting measures. – DR Nyheder
