Readly deal increases SAS newspaper digital downloads

0

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is increasing the number of digital newspapers available to download in the SAS app. A variety of national and international newspapers are available to download from the SAS Newsstand up to 22 hours before departure.

Since summer 2014, a selection of newspapers has been available to download to a smartphone or tablet ahead of a trip. The choice of digital newspapers is now being increased and SAS is also partnering Readly, which will enable SAS EuroBonus members to access their range of publications.

“SAS customers are becoming increasingly digital and we are continuously developing our app to meet their needs. This increased choice in the SAS Newsstand and our partnership with Readly means we can offer a good digital solution where customers can also access a broad range of newspapers up to 22 hours before they travel,” said Eivind Roald, EVP of commercial at SAS.

“We have chosen to invest more resources in developing digital solutions that mean you can make a far more individual choice of reading matter on board, whether this is the Financial Times or a local paper. Our digital focus is the main reason we will discontinue printed newspapers at gates [they will still be available in lounges]. The huge volume of printed newspapers at airports is also a challenge from a logistics and environmental perspective,” added Roald.

These changes come into force 1 March. The SAS app can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play and Windows Phone Store.
