A strike among pilots at Scandinavian Airlines has entered its fourth day with the carrier being forced to cancel 1,213 flights Monday and Tuesday, affecting some 110,000 passengers.
The flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden says more than 170,000 passengers have been affected since the open-ended strike started Friday. The strike began after the collapse of pay negotiations with the SAS Pilot Group, which represents 95% of the company's pilots in the three countries.
"Now we both have to take responsibility and come back to concrete discussions to find solutions that also make the company have a future, even after this conflict," Gustafson told Sweden's news agency TT. The pilots' negotiations, which started in March, are mainly about salary increases and working hours.
