FROM March 2005, Scandinavian Airlines will be the first airline in the
world to offer its passengers the ability to connect to the Internet onboard
using wireless broadband on all of the airline's long-haul aircraft.

The facility is already available on two Airbus 340 aircraft serving
Scandinavian Airlines intercontinental destinations, and from mid-February
will be available on all flights to Asia and Seattle, followed by New York,
Chicago and Washington by the end of February 2005.

The service, called SAS Net Access, is available throughout the cabin and is
provided by the company Connexion by Boeing. The cost is USD 29.95 for an
entire flight or USD 9.95 for 30 minutes plus 25 cents for each additional
minute. Members of SAS EuroBonus frequent flyer programme can pay for the
service using points, but it is also possible to use most credit cards.

Since the connection is wireless, it requires that the computer being
connected has a network card that enables wireless connections (WLAN).
Passengers will also be able to connect to their company's internal network
using VPN (Virtual Private Network). PC power outlets are already available
for passengers travelling in Business Class and Economy Flex.

Lars-Ove Filipson, SAS Scandinavian Airlines General Manger UK and Ireland,
said: "We are proud to be offering an industry first for our passengers, who
will now be able to surf the net, e-mail and stay in contact with work,
friends and family at 37,000ft. SAS Scandinavian Airlines is committed to
being at the forefront of aviation technology and providing our customers
with the best travelling experience".
