SAS has canceled about 1,700 departures this fall due to a backlog of orders and delays in delivering aircraft due to a summer strike.
Departures for September and October have been canceled, according to the industry website check-in.dk. He is one though the Oslo-Athens route has been cancelled.
Canceled departures account for about 4% of the total 39,000 flights, SAS Norway press manager Tonje Sund told NTB.
“Passengers have already been rebooked and notified for the period from June 26 to August 14,” she said.
Post-strike backlog
Sun explained that these changes are due to several factors.
“Among other things, staffing shortages and aircraft delivery delays due to post-strike holiday backlogs are at the height of a difficult time for the entire aviation industry as it has to bounce back after the pandemic,” she further explained.
“Lack of human resources”
About 300 of the canceled flights originated from Copenhagen Airport Kastrup. SAS Danish Press Her manager Alexandra Lindgren Kaoukji also cited a lack of available personnel as one of her reasons for the cancellation.
“Conversely, we don’t see a decline in demand. In terms of staffing, however, the strike has impacted staffing in the coming months due to holiday backlogs,” she said check-in.dk. told to
Delays in the delivery of aircraft to subsidiary SAS Link have also led to cancellations.
