It was not immediately clear who was leading the second group of investors, the newspaper added.
Sources told Reuters in early May that Apollo hoped to take a majority stake in the Nordic airline.
SAS had said that any bids in an equity fundraising would need to include the Danish state, which currently has a 22% stake.
