Pilot strike put on hold

The contract between the Faroese Airline Pilot Association and the Employers’ Association has been extended to 27 April.

Conciliator Terje Sigurdsson met with the two opposing parties last night.

The Conciliatory Board believes that a key point in the negotiations has not been sufficiently debated. The two parties will need to discuss this point in more detail before contract talks can resume, according to a press release from the House of Industry.

Both parties agreed to extend the existing contract until 27 April at midnight. This means that a possible work stoppage would start no earlier than 12 May.
