Norwegian canceled on Tuesday Norwegian announced on Tuesday 17 canceled flights on Wednesday. Wednesday morning, there are so far no more settings at Norwegian. – Can it be relevant to cancel more flights? – We do not hope so. But now the situation is that we lack aeronautical personnel due to a strike, and that means that if something unforeseen happens and an aircraft needs technical inspection, it can have consequences for traffic, says press officer Andreas Hjørnholm to news on Wednesday morning. At Norwegian, the following flights have been canceled, according to NTB: Oslo – Copenhagen, Oslo – Trondheim, Oslo – Harstad / Evenes, Oslo – Rome, Oslo – Molde and Oslo – Budapest. In addition, there is a single trip to Bergen. From Bergen, the return trip to London and Copenhagen has been canceled. The plane was canceled – must have a series of meetings At Trondheim airport, news meets Joachim Balstad Engen. He was actually supposed to be on one of Widerøe’s flights from Trondheim to Sandefjord, but this was canceled. Now he has to fly via Bergen, before he gets to Torp in Sandefjord. – In a way, you understand the strike, but it is clear, it creates a bit of a mess for quite a few, Engen says. Had Widerøe not canceled the flight from Trondheim to Sandefjord, Joachim Balstad Engen would not have had time to talk to news’s reporter at Værnes.

SAS not affected SAS has no canceled flights as a result of the strike. – The status now in the morning hours is that there are still no SAS aircraft affected by the aircraft technician strike. We continue to follow the situation closely, says Tonje Sund, press manager at SAS. She does not want to speculate on the development, and refers to NHO Luftfart and the Norwegian Aircraft Technician Organization (NFO) when asked if any of the technicians associated with SAS are covered by the strike. The airline Flyr is not affected by the strike, because they do not have technicians organized under the NFO. Is contact between the parties Wednesday morning Torbjørn Lothe, leader of NHO Luftfart, confirms that there is contact between the parties in the strike. – Can confirm that there is contact between the parties, but apart from that we can not say anything more concrete, Lothe writes in an SMS to news. NHO issued the notice of lockout at 6 pm on Tuesday. The lockout will take effect on Sunday night unless the parties reach a solution. Late Tuesday night, tariff leader Petter Wettre in NFO confirmed that they had resumed contact with NHO Luftfart.
