SAS strike called off

SAS has reached an agreement with its pilots, who went on strike last Friday. All flights are back on schedule now.

However, the airline points out that delays can be expected in the coming days after all flights on Nordic routes, including the Faroe route, have been grounded for a week.

Back to work

The dispute between the airline and its pilots revolved around salaries and working hours.

With the new settlement, the pilots will receive a pay-rise of 10-11 percent over the next three years. Other complications relating to work schedules and working hours have also been ironed out in the new contract.

Some 300,000 travellers have been affected by the week-long strike, according to Danish national broadcaster DR.
