Copenhagen, 30 June 2026 - Scandinavian carrier SAS has placed a firm order with Airbus for 18 A330-900 aircraft as part of its ongoing fleet renewal strategy. The agreement was signed during a ceremony in Copenhagen by Anko van der Werff, SAS CEO and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.

The aircraft will support SAS’ ongoing international network expansion, allowing the airline to increase existing high capacity routes globally and introduce new routes.

“On behalf of SAS, I am delighted to announce this order for the Airbus A330-900. Combining outstanding economics with improved environmental performance, the aircraft will play a key role in our long-term fleet strategy. It will allow us to deliver an exceptional customer experience, expand our network, and offer greater flexibility and convenience for our passengers. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Airbus well into the future”, said Anko van der Werff.

“We are immensely proud to see SAS reaffirm its trust in Airbus to drive its fleet modernisation. The A330-900 is the undisputed benchmark for efficiency and versatility in its category. By integrating these 18 A330neo, SAS will benefit from unbeatable seat-mile economics and seamless operational synergies with its existing Airbus fleet," said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry.

Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330neo is designed to fly up to 8,100 nautical miles / 15,000 kilometers non-stop and reduces fuel burn, CO₂ emissions and operating cost by 25% compared to previous generation competitor aircraft. The A330neo unique Airspace cabin offers passengers and crews the latest modern in-flight products for a comfortable flying experience.

As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330 family is already able to operate with up to 50% SustainableAviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to reach 100% SAF capability by 2030. 

At the end of May 2026, the A330 Family had won over 1,950 orders from 133 customers worldwide.

Luftsportulykke

 

Date:	Sunday 28 June 2026
Time:	10:59
Type:	Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter
Owner/operator:	Classic Wings/KIAS Airlines
Registration:	D-FIPS
MSN:	874
Year of manufacture:	1991
Fatalities:	Fatalities: 11 / Occupants: 11
Other fatalities:	0
Aircraft damage:	Destroyed
Category:	Accident
Location:	Tomblaine, near Nancy-Essey Airport (ENC/LFSN) -    France
Phase:	Initial climb
Nature:	Parachuting
Departure airport:	Nancy-Essey Airport (ENC/LFSN)
Destination airport:	Nancy-Essey Airport (ENC/LFSN)
Investigating agency:	BEA
Confidence Rating:	Information is only available from news, social media or unofficial sources

Narrative:
A Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter skydiving plane, operating for Tandemotion Parachutisme, crashed immediately after takeoff from Nancy-Essey Airport (ENC), France. All eleven on board suffered fatal injuries.

The aircraft had been engaged in skydiving flights during the morning.
ADS-B data indicate that at 10:53, the flight landed on runway 21 following a drop. It vacated the runway to the apron and taxied back to the runway at 10:58. It commenced the takeoff from the taxiway B intersection of runway 21, just like the previous flights. The takeoff distance available from that point is about 750 meters.
ADS-B datapoints then suggest the aircraft slightly drifted to the left on takeoff. From a position over the runway threshold it made a left hand turn and crashed on a road just outside the airport perimeter.

“A mechanical failure caused the crash,” the prefect of Meurthe-et-Moselle said. The plane “plummeted straight down, and we do not yet know the cause of the accident,” he added. There was “no flight path consistent with an emergency landing.”
“The victims include five instructors, their five students, and the pilot,” the prefect explained during a press conference. The students were a group of private healthcare worker who had come to try skydiving for the first time.
