“SAS Group has today further simplified its corporate structure by divesting its remaining 19.9 percent shareholding in the regional airline Skyways Holding AB,” the group said in a statement.

It said the shares were purchased by Largus Holding AB, a company fully owned by the Salan family, which already owns the remaining 80.1 percent of Skyways.
