Event
Unionized Scandinavian Airlines (SK) pilots have threatened to stage an indefinite strike in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark starting June 29 if ongoing mediation with management fails to produce an agreement. The pilots are demanding higher wages amid the increased cost of living.
Unless averted, up to 80 percent of the carrier's pilots could walk off the job June 29, prompting major disruptions across its network. Although the airline is taking measures to reduce the impact of a potential strike, significant flight delays and cancellations remain likely.
Advice
