SAS Strike Disrupts Flights and Weddings

Published: 2024-08-25

The ongoing strike by SAS cabin crew has caused significant disruptions, affecting both travelers and the airline's operations.

The strike, which began after failed negotiations over wages and working conditions, has led to the cancellation of several flights, with more disruptions expected as the strike escalates.

SAS cabin crew are demanding higher wages and better working conditions, citing that their current pay is lower than industry standards and even less than some disability benefits.

The strike has also impacted personal plans, such as the wedding of Karianne Vilde and Kristian Spetalen, who are considering alternative travel arrangements to Italy.

SAS has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with some customers expressing frustration over additional costs and poor customer service.

The airline is under pressure to resolve the conflict quickly to minimize further disruptions.
