SAS canceled almost 600 flights

SAS airlines had to cancel 587 flights scheduled for Sunday, April 28 in the Scandinavian countries due to pilots' strike.

SAS pilots in Norway, Sweden and Denmark joined the strike on Friday after wage negotiations collapsed. So far, 70 percent of flights have been canceled, and that may affect up to 170,000 passengers during the weekend.

The airline on Friday expressed hope for resuming talks with pilots and reaching an agreement as soon as possible. However, SAS warned that meeting pilots' demands would have very negative consequences for the company.
