SASV today announced the addition of another North American destination to its network, Washington D.C. The city will be served three times daily from Copenhagen from 25th March 2001. This city is the fourth U.S. city SASV fly to, in addition to Chicago, New York and Seattle. A Boeing 767-300ER will be used on the route. This flight compliments Millennium Airway's, our partner airline in the Uniflyer Aliiance, service from London to Washington.

The completed SASV webpage was uploaded today, enabling us to begin operation immediately. The launch was delayed from Monday, due to a problems with our ISP. "The airline already looks set to be a sucess," commented acting president Dominic Rhodes. "We have at the launch 10 pilots, and this looks set to rise rapidly. We now need to look at filling the vacant management positions in the airline, including the one I am occupying at present. It is vital for the airline to have its own management team, so that it may retain its own unique style." More details on the positions available can be found on the employment opportunities page of our website.

The launch of SASV could not go ahead today, as planned. Unfortunately our ISP had to undertake some serious upgrades on one of its servers, causing problems with uploading, delaying the launch of our webpage. We have been in contact with the ISP, and they say the problem should be resolved by the end of the week, so our we should begin operations within a few days.

The official launch date for SAS Virtual, the new member of the Uniflyer Alliance was announced today. A spokesperson from the new airline said, "Everything is looking good for an official launch on 13th November. Most of the Internet site is completed and the fleet is ready. However the new winter timetable has just been released and so we need to make some small adjustments to our timetable. The airline will launch with Dominic Rhodes, Uniflyer Alliance chairman of the board as president and CEO, but a more permanent individual will take up this position at a later date."

The Uniflyer Group today announced that a new virtual airline, SAS Virtual Scandinavian Airlines, was to be launched. The airline will be based on the operations of the real airline, SAS. A spokesperson said, "We decided to base the new VA on SAS as we felt our presence was slightly weak in Europe, and SAS fits into our alliance perfectly. It is a very dynamic airline therefore it will work together well with our airlines such as Millennium Airways. The creation of the airline will bring over 50 new destinations to the Uniflyer Alliance, as well as a modern fleet of aircraft, including the new de Haviland Q400. We will make a further announcement in two weeks time to confirm the launch date of the airline.
