Here's a dumb question: We're flying SK 945 ORD-ARN in two weeks on the way to LED (St. Petersburg). This is supposed to be one of the new A-330s. I got curious and went to the Scandinavian Flight Operations website and looked up SK's 330s and found:

The OY- registration prefix is Danish, SE- is Swedish and LN- is norweigian. As far as I know, they're getting rid of the SE- registrations, since in time of war, NATO can call upon civil aircrafts to move troops around, and since Sweden is neutral, any aircraft on the SE- register may not be used.

CPH-R,
Thats not really the reason for changing the registrations from SE to mostly LN (Norway). In Sweden sales- and lease back aint allowed, wish SAS normaly would like to do with some of there new planes. Also, its cheeper to use planes reg. in a other country on domestic flights in Sweden (strange - but true)

Do the "Viking" names correspond to the three countries as well or are they just random? There was a "Huge Viking" 747, right?

Kurt,
I would guess that the names are just random. They are all old nordic/viking names and all three nations share the same history when it comes to vikings.
Todays Huge Viking is a Dash Q400.
