Scandinavian Airlines is perceived as competent in handling critical situations, notably receiving significant praise for the professionalism and support of its staff during a passenger's severe panic attack. However, the airline's historical legacy is questioned or confused in casual discussions, indicating a lack of prominent brand awareness in some contexts. The SAS EuroBonus loyalty program is criticized for its limited rewards beyond the diamond member level, which may lead to customer dissatisfaction and switching to competitors. While the airline benefits from loyal customers and some innovative loyalty ideas, it faces challenges in maintaining engagement and expanding its appeal. Overall, SAS is seen as reliable in service but stagnant in brand innovation and customer reward progression.
The most critical and detailed discussions about SAS come from the podcast 'That’s Life podcast,' where a personal crisis on a SAS flight is recounted with a focus on the airline's staff's exemplary behavior, presenting a rare but highly positive perception. The 'TP-Podden' podcast casually dismisses SAS in a trivia context, showing weak brand prominence. The 'MEDVIND' podcast critically analyzes SAS’s loyalty program, highlighting structural weaknesses and customer dissatisfaction beyond the diamond level. Business-oriented podcasts like 'Market Makers' and 'Börslunch' do not engage with SAS directly but provide context on corporate innovation and market trends, indirectly suggesting SAS is not seen as a leader in innovation or market excitement. Overall, critical discussions are split between high praise for staff and criticism of marketing and loyalty strategies, with few mentions of operational or business excellence.
Discussions focus on the evolution and competitiveness of airline loyalty programs, particularly the use of milestone-based rewards to retain and engage customers, the importance of personalized and innovative loyalty benefits, and the challenge of maintaining customer loyalty beyond top-tier status levels.
The trending topics arise because SAS’s EuroBonus program is under scrutiny for lacking appealing incentives beyond the diamond status, risking customer defection. The podcasts explore how other programs use milestone benefits to encourage ongoing loyalty and engagement, highlighting a broader industry trend toward more dynamic and rewarding loyalty systems which SAS appears slow to adopt.
