Ok, but SAS also lost already earlier also in Sweden a Government contract towards Finnair, also for the same destination and Asian destinations served by Finnair.

Quoting Virginia (Thread starter): It has not been posted yet, just heard it, ay got the government contract from Denmark for all of their Beijing traffic above SAS.
These contracts come and go, also SAS/Blue1 has got government contracts in Finland, not sure what the situation is now though. I guess the 'EU routes' to Brussels, Frankfurt etc, are the most important.
This kind of competition is great if it saves tax payers money.
Finnair has been busy expanding their business also in Europe lately, and not only in the Nordic area. They are opening several thinner routes, with new Embraers, to feed the flights from HEL to Asia.
