Norwegian cancels several flights on Monday. – Two routes have been canceled, one goes from Bergen to London Gatwick and the other from Oslo to Nice, says press contact Silje Glorvigen in Norwegian to NTB. The flights return. Thus, four flights are canceled. – The reason is that we have had aircraft that have needed technical control, which we have not had the opportunity to carry out due to staff shortages as a result of the strike, Glorvigen says. Summer traffic at Oslo Airport Gardermoen is underway. Friday was long queues. Now more strikes can affect many who are going out and traveling.

This happened after the mediation between the employers’ organization NHO Luftfart and the Norwegian Aircraft Technician Organization (NFO) was broken. The parties met again on Sunday night, but the talks ended without results. No new meetings are planned. On Monday, another 75 technicians will be taken out, according to NTB. – It is terribly sad and will eventually affect more and more travelers, says CEO Torbjørn Lothe in NHO Luftfart to NTB. Torbjørn Lothe in NHO Luftfart despairs that the parties have not agreed. Photo: NHO Luftfart NFO has come up with wage demands that are sky high above what other groups in society have received, according to him. – What disappoints me a lot is that there are no adjustments or adjustments in the requirements. They demand a 17-18 percent wage increase. That is far above what nurses, bus drivers and all other groups in society have received this year, he says. May be a new strike on Tuesday It is not just aircraft technicians who are in strike mode. If Fellesforbundet and NHO Luftfart do not agree on Monday, 160 airport workers can be taken out on strike on Tuesday. Torbjørn Lothe is optimistic about the negotiations. – Our starting point for mediation is that we always have a hope of finding a solution, also this time. Normally it goes well, he says to NTB. If they do not agree, even more people who are going on a trip can be affected. – We hope there will be a solution, says press contact in SAS, Tonje Sunde to news. Normally at SAS and Widerøe so far None of Monday’s Widerøe flights have been hit so far. This can change during the day, according to communications manager Catharina Solli. She points out that she does not currently have information on which aircraft technicians have been taken out in the escalation of the strike. – No flights are affected now, but I can not rule out that nothing will occur during the day. We plan for normal operation, and we try to get the planned maintenance carried out in the normal way, Solli says to NTB at 7.30. At SAS, too, flights are currently running as normal despite the strike. – Today as it looks now, no SAS flights are affected by the strike. We will return to how the situation develops, and whether there will be any change, says press manager Tonje Sund in SAS to news. Passengers who may be affected by the strike later will be contacted directly by SAS.
