Extract

In 1952 the first transpolar flight by a commercial aircraft was carried out. During the six years that have since passed, S.A.S. aircraft have made 1635 flights across the arctic region representing approximately 26,000 flying hours. Our experience in polar navigation has been built up first on a large number of charter flights, then on regular flights on the sub-polar route to Los Angeles, and finally on regular flights across the Arctic Ocean to Japan.
