The Sweden-listed company, which has been under U.S. "chapter 11" bankruptcy protection since July 2022, has since June extended the deadline for final bids twice, at the request of bidders.
"SAS will announce the winning bidder or bidders as soon as the evaluation process has been completed," it said in a statement.
The long-struggling carrier reported earlier a net loss of 4.41 billion Swedish crowns ($398 million) for the November through August period.
SAS originally aimed to complete its restructuring by July, but the target has slipped to the end of the year.
