2015 to assume the position of CEO for DSB A/S.
- I have valued my collaboration with Flemming Jensen. Through his
more than 25 years at SAS, he has made a great contribution to the
business, and I am sorry that he has decided to leave SAS. Having said
that, I have great respect for his decision and am pleased that we at
SAS can deliver truly competent leaders for challenging CEO positions in
other companies, says Rickard Gustafson, SAS President & CEO.
Flemming Jensen has been with SAS since 1989 when he joined as pilot.
Since 2008, he has held a number of leading positions within SAS, of
which the last three years as Executive Vice President and COO.
- This has not been an easy decision, says Flemming Jensen. I'm
extremely happy to be working for SAS, which is also the reason that I
have been with the business for such a long time. SAS is a fascinating
company with great people. However, the opportunity to use my experience
in a role as CEO to contribute to developing DSBs business, is a
challenge I could not resist.

continue as COO until May next year.
