Disse flyene er kansellert

Avinor has announced that 12 air traffic controllers are on strike, with an additional 8 set to join on Tuesday. According to Avinor's forecasts, there will be "some delays at Gardermoen on Saturday, moderate delays on Vestlandet and increasing congestion at Flesland throughout the day and evening." A significant disruption is expected on Saturday evening, with major restrictions and temporary closures of air control areas over Vestlandet.

Normally a quiet day with fewer flights, Sunday is predicted to bring even larger problems. Oslo Airport is instructed to halt traffic between 06:30 and 11:30 on Sunday. Avinor warns of widespread disruptions and effects across the country. Norsk Flygerlederforening leader Robert Gjønnes stated that wages were not being discussed in negotiations and the issue was about working conditions.

He emphasized that under the current circumstances, a controller might work up to 16 hours continuously without a predictable break. They want regulation and a dialogue with employers, claiming their demands are being ignored. Spekter, another union, said they would not give any more interviews on Friday afternoon and referred to a press release calling the strike incomprehensible.
