STOCKHOLM - The CEO of Scandinavian airline SAS has told negotiators to thrash out what concessions the company could make to end a pilots strike that has disrupted travel plans for hundreds of thousands of passengers.
SAS pilots went on strike on Friday as wage talks broke down, grounding around 70 percent of the airline’s flights and affecting about 280,000 passengers, including cancellations set for Monday and Tuesday. “I have instructed our negotiation team to continue to work on and see what more we can do to find constructive solutions within reason. We also need to survive after the conflict,” he added.
SAS pilots in the three countries went on strike after talks over wages, careers and work schedules broke down. The Swedish union has said pilots were seeking around a 13 percent pay hike. Close to bankruptcy in 2012, SAS sold assets and cut wages and thousands of jobs in return for a life-saving credit facility. It has been profitable in the last four years but fuel costs are rising and overcapacity is still squeezing the sector.
