SAS future is based on minimum 50% of pre pandemic passenger traffic already this summer

If SAS is to reach that target they'll better quickly get a new CEO in that brim full of ideas can land running. We need to see skidmarks just like a plane. The cash of the company have in the last quarter reduced with more than halve. And their chances of borrowing more is not getting any better with Moody downgrading them from B3 to Caa1 and hints to an even more negative future.  Worse is they are expecting 20% in April and 30% in May/June. That can be difficult if one compares to last year when Europe didn't really open up before July. Add in the uncertain vaccine supplies and this summer could be a complete wash out. Notice all vaccine forecasts says that most is going to happen in the last month. That is a recipe for disapointment. There is still much to be said for freight. If passenger volumes is only going to be 50% that is a lot of missing belly capacity transcontinentally, and europe wide. Most international post is still at less than halve the speed it was pre-covid
