Sunday will be one of the busiest days at Norwegian airports, according to Avinor, when over 97,000 people will pass through Oslo Airport, 24,600 will pass through Bergen Airport and almost 17,000 will pass through Tronheim Airport.

We are trained to cope with days like this, says airport director Stine Ramstad Westby. So far today, the waiting time at the security checkpoint has not exceeded anything more than ten minutes, says the director. What you should know about holiday chaos and air strike Six Widerøe planes out of service Neither SAS, Norwegian nor Flyr have so far on Friday had to cancel flights due to the aircraft technician strike. No adjustments are expected due to the strike later today, these companies inform news. 14 of Widerøe’s departures have been canceled for other reasons. The same applies to 6 SAS departures and 2 Flyr departures, according to Avinor’s overview. On Friday, Widerøe reports that six of their aircraft are out of service. This is due to both major and minor technical errors, according to press manager Catarina Solli in Widerøe. – They are now on the ground with unforeseen technical challenges. We do not know how long these planes will stand, Solli says to news. She says that this will affect the passengers. – There will be settings, and we have already had to cancel flights, says Solli. The six aircraft are on the ground awaiting simpler technical inspection. – We have postponed a lot of technical maintenance because there are fewer people at work, in the beginning it went well, but now it goes much slower. Typically, the airline has between four and five aircraft in reserve, which should be ready for use. Now there is only one. Solli asks passengers to show up as normal. – It is still the case that most departures go as normal. We will get in touch if they are affected, she says. Asks people to meet prepared The strike among aircraft technicians is Friday in its seventh day. The aircraft technicians went on strike last Saturday. In addition, NHO has announced a lockout from Sunday. This means that 450 aircraft technicians from NFO are refused to come to work – including the ambulance flight service in the north, writes NTB. The mediation between the aircraft technicians and NHO continues at 10 am today. – People who are affected by the air strike must relate to messages from the airlines, how they should relate to settings, says airport director Stine Ramstad Westby at Oslo Airport. She says that they pay little attention to the strike, because the passengers know this well in advance. In a press release, Avinor asks travelers to show up well prepared for check-in and at the security checkpoint. – Meet the time your airline notifies, and if there are changes in your journey, you must relate to the information you receive from the airline you travel with, says communications manager at Avinor, Joachim Westher Andersen. They write that for the smoothest possible trip to the airport, it is a good idea to check in your luggage digitally, have your boarding pass ready in your hand at the security checkpoint.
