SAS extends logistics partnership with Kuehne + Nagel until 2020
SAS Scandinavian Airlines (SAS Technical Operation) has prolonged its contract with Kuehne + Nagel for global external logistics services until 2020.
Under the agreement, Kuehne + Nagel operates at several strategic airside locations globally and is responsible for international transport of spare parts for the SAS airplane fleet.
A 24/7/365 service ensures timely delivery of spare parts, ranging from aircraft engines to bolts of cockpit windows. A Kuehne + Nagel team is constantly reviewing and optimising the supply chain resulting in both reduced logistics costs as well as increased process efficiency, a joint statement said.

The complex demands of our partner SAS require tailor-made door-to-door solutions. We are very pleased that SAS has extended the partnership with Kuehne + Nagel which started in 2006 for another three years. This is the result of the hard work of our team of experts and our long-term involvement and expertise in the aerospace industry."
