SAS works to resume services after strike is called off

Friday, 3 May 20193 min read

Scandinavian airline SAS is working to get its schedules back to normal by this evening (Friday) after pilots ended a costly week-long strike.

Pilots walked out on April 26, forcing 4,000 flight cancellations and impacting nearly 400,000 passengers.

Unions have now finally reached a deal with the airline’s management over pay and working conditions.

SAS said regular operations will resume as soon as possible but warned there may still be some disruption to services.

It advised passengers to check the status of their flight before travelling to the airport.

Pilots had been fighting for a 13%~wage rise to make up for pay cuts in 2012, when SAS had been close to bankruptcy.
