SAS Norway Cabin Crew Strike Grounds Flights

Published: 2024-08-27

The Norwegian cabin crew of SAS have initiated a strike, grounding nearly all SAS flights in Norway.

This action, involving 820 cabin crew members, stems from unresolved negotiations over wages and working conditions.

While SAS flights in Sweden and Denmark continue, the impact on flights to and from these countries remains uncertain.

The strike follows the expiration of a two-year agreement and unsuccessful mediation efforts.

Despite SAS's financial struggles, the cabin crew unions argue for improved conditions, highlighting the disparity in wage growth compared to other sectors.

The strike is supported by Swedish and Danish cabin crew unions, emphasizing shared challenges across Scandinavia.

Meanwhile, SAS's subsidiaries, SAS Connect and SAS Link, remain unaffected by the strike.
