SAS puts some of it's MD-80's out to stud... with Alligent.

Well we know that SAS are reorganising themselves as they've suffered in the current climate, and are in the process of disposing 21 of its MD-80 fleet.

It seems that Allegiant Air was in the market for some aircraft, and thus have brought 18 MD-80's.

These veteran aircraft are currently on the ground and are between 19 and 25 years old, so they're easy money for SAS to make with a total sale value of 200 million Swedish Krona.

This move sees Allegiant boost its MD-80 fleet to 52 units, and SAS reduce its MD fleet to 24 units for intra-Scandinavia use (although knowing SAS, they'll be be on Intra-Europe routes faster that you can think)
