SAS CEO Anko van der Werff to Depart in 2027, Set to Join Air Canada
SAS Chief Executive Officer Anko van der Werff has announced his intention to leave the airline by 2027 to assume a leadership position at Air Canada. This move comes after he successfully steered the Scandinavian carrier through a complex Chapter 11 restructuring process. The departure is part of a broader agreement with SAS's new consortium of owners, which includes Air France-KLM. The extended timeline for his departure is designed to ensure a smooth and stable transition for the airline. Van der Werff has led SAS since 2021 and his tenure has been defined by the airline's financial transformation.
