The airline SAS is currently having to cancel many flights due to pilot strikes. Now there is a "small agreement" with the pilots, because they have agreed to carry out around 100 flights over the current weekend in order to to fly stranded vacationers home.

At the core of the collective bargaining dispute, management and unions are still very far apart. Immediately before the start of the industrial action, it became known that SAS in the United States of America has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The management also referred to the pilots' strike as a reason for this. In the meantime, too struck in the field of technology.

Over the weekend, numerous SAS planes have already flown empty to holiday resorts and have picked up stranded holidaymakers and flown them home. You want to keep it that way in the near future, but only if there are no alternative travel destinations. It is currently not possible to estimate how long the pilots' strike at SAS will last. The fronts are considered to be massively hardened.
