SAS Cabin Crew Strike Amid Wage Dispute

Scandinavian airline SAS is facing a strike initiated by cabin crew in Norway due to failed salary and working condition negotiations, impacting around 120 employees as of August 23. The unions involved, NKF and SNK, emphasize that salaries have stagnated at 2012 levels, prompting the need for industrial action. While SAS claims most flights will continue with limited disruptions, the potential for the strike to escalate and affect more staff and flights remains high. The airline is committed to resolving the conflict and aims to resume negotiations with the unions. A government-appointed mediator has indicated that bridging the divide between both parties has proven unsuccessful. SAS continues to prioritize customer support and operational continuity during this period.
