After pilots’ strike: Airline cancels almost 1,600 flights in Europe in autumn
The Scandinavian airline SAS canceled almost 1,600 flights in autumn. The reason is the delay in the delivery of new aircraft and the lack of staff. A strike by the workforce in the summer still affects the flight schedule.
After the pilots’ strike in the summer, the ailing Scandinavian airline SAS is canceling almost 1,600 flights in Europe in the fall. Four percent of 39,000 flights are affected, confirmed a SAS spokeswoman for the German Press Agency on Friday on request. “The affected passengers have already been informed and rebooked on other flights.” The spokeswoman said that the failures would neither affect the autumn holidays nor charter flights.

The reasons for the cancellations are delayed aircraft deliveries and staff shortages, which are also related to the strike in the summer: many pilots are now catching up on vacation. About a month ago, after tough negotiations with Danish, Norwegian and Swedish pilots, the airline agreed on a new collective agreement. The pilots’ strike had cost the struggling airline millions.
