Pilots of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) on Friday launched an open-ended strike following the collapse of pay negotiations, forcing the company to cancel virtually all its flights.
The carrier said talks on a new collective bargaining agreement with the SAS Pilot Group, which represents 95% of the company’s pilots in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, collapsed early on Friday.
SAS cancelled 673 flights for Friday, affecting 72,000 passengers.
