SAS Scandinavian suspends 1,700 flights in September and October

SAS Scandinavian airline has suspended 1,700 flights in September and October following a 15-day pilot strike in July and delayed aircraft deliveries, the carrier said on Friday Aug. 19.

The Stockholm-based carrier grounded some 3,700 flights during last month’s strike action, which ended on 19 July after an agreement was reached with four unions representing pilots in a drawn-out pay dispute.

The carrier said affected travellers have been informed and re-booked to other flights, according to a Reuters report.
