SAS pilots went on strike on Friday as wage talks broke down, grounding around 70% 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 said.
The aviation industry’s employer body in Sweden says pilots already have high wages, averaging 93,000 crowns in 2018. The Swedish pilots union disputes the figure, saying salaries start at 34,000 crowns, rising over 25 years to 98,000. “We can’t have a cost explosion in the company. That would leave us with no competitive power,” Gustafson said.
