That hastened the airline’s decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States, CEO Anko van der Werff said, as she sought breathing space to carry out restructuring plans, Reuters <\/a>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“SAS aims to reach agreements with interested parties, restructure the company’s debt obligations, reconfigure its aircraft fleet and emerge with a significant injection of capital.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAS said talks with lenders about another $700 million in financing were “well advanced.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline would continue to serve its customers during the bankruptcy process, although the strike is grounding about half of the airline’s flights, affecting some 30,000 passengers a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
