Guiding Scandinavian Airlines to a Smooth Landing After Chapter 11

Guiding Scandinavian Airlines to a Smooth Landing After Chapter 11

How do you reroute an airline amid economic and geopolitical headwinds?

Facing severe impacts related to post-pandemic travel downturns, increased competition with low-cost airlines, a major pilot strike, the closure of Russian airspace and subsequent loss of related routes to Asia due to the war in Ukraine, Scandinavian Airlines (“SAS”), the leading airline in Scandinavia for the last 75 years, chose to file for Chapter 11 in 2022. FTI Consulting was engaged as financial adviser and supported the company in preparing for the filing to ensure sufficient liquidity for ongoing operations.

Nuestro impacto

SAS avoided significant operating disruptions throughout the filing and met all reporting requirements, including debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) reporting, monthly financial reporting and contractual reporting to regulatory agencies.
