SAS Scandinavian Group yesterday abandoned its effort to sell Spanair, saying that as a result of the "challenging market conditions in the Spanish aviation market coupled with record oil prices and pressure in the financial sector," it has been unable to "reach its targeted terms and conditions on the divestment." CEO Mats Jansson said Spanair is "a company with a competitive cost position" and that SAS is committed to its future. Jun 20, 2008
