Juleflyet «Christmas Plane» is an aid operation run by SAS employees since 1985, with former captain Karsten Midtun at its head. Throughout the year, employees collect items and contributions to help children in orphanages and disadvantaged families in Eastern Europe. The charity has helped children in Poland, Estonia and Latvia but since 2003 it is focusing on Estonia and particularly on the forsaken Kopli district in Tallinn suburbs. Once a year an aircraft flies to Tallinn with the aid and a Christmas party is held. 2015 marked the first time SAS applied special decals for the occasion.
