The redesigned app offers a range of new features, including a simplified booking process, travel recommendations, real-time flight updates, and easy access to boarding passes and travel documents. It also boasts improved navigation and a visually appealing interface that reflects SAS' new brand identity.

“When we started building the redesigned app, our goal was to provide a user-friendly experience that makes travel planning simple and hassle-free, through a beautiful and modern design. We're delighted to see that our efforts are being recognized,” says Massimo Pascotto, Head of Prepare & Travel, Digital & IT at SAS.

The Red Dot Award is one of the most prestigious and globally recognized design competitions, organized by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany.
