 Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has confirmed that
Simon Pauck Hansen, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer, has decided to leave the company.
Simon Pauck Hansen has made significant
contributions to SAS during his many years of dedicated service.
We are very sad that he has chosen to leave SAS, and I would like
to personally thank Simon for our close cooperation and his
dedication to the company during my time as CEO, said Anko van
der Werff, SAS President & CEO.
Simon, who started with the airline as a trainee
26 years ago, hands over the responsibility to Mikael Wngdahl,
currently VP SAS Link and External Production, who will assume the
role as acting Chief Operating Officer.
The handover is in process and will be completed
during the month of January.
I am truly grateful for all the experiences and
opportunities offered to me during this time. It has been a great
journey to be part of this company and navigating through the ups
and downs of this highly dynamic industry. The last three years
have required significant sacrifices by everyone in SAS, but I am
confident that a brighter future now lies ahead, Simon said. The
time has, however, come for me to hand over the reins. SAS will
always hold a special place in my heart, and it has been a very
difficult decision for me to make.
