SAS and the striking pilots agreed on Thursday to make an exception from the strike to bring home stranded charter tourists who have few or no other transport options. – Unfortunately, SAS has once again shown to be an unreliable contractual partner, which does not practice the agreement as intended, writes SAS Pilot Group (SPG) in a press release. They say they were surprised to see that SAS set up flights to Rhodes, Crete, Larnaca, Palma and Split, places where they believe there are alternative routes. – SPG’s members have over the weekend contributed to flying home passengers, but SAS’s lack of respect for us as a counterparty means that we unfortunately feel compelled to end the dispensation for charter flights after the last flight today, Sunday 10 July. SAS Pilot Group is an association of pilot associations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The pilots in SAS have been on strike since Monday 4 July. Since the strike began, around 30,000 passengers have been affected daily. The airline has estimated that the daily cost losses are between NOK 100 and 130 million.
