SAS flight strike to hit Saturday
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has warned that a strike by cabin crews will run into Saturday, forcing it to cancel more flights. Between 100 and 150 flights in Sweden and Europe will be grounded on Saturday affecting some 10,000 people, SAS said. It already has had to cancel about 300 flights on Friday after 800 unionized staff at its Swedish operation walked off the job in a dispute over pay. The stoppage is likely to cost the firm about $3 million a day. SAS said unions had rejected the firm's three-year pay offer, which it said was equal or superior to that enjoyed by staff at other airlines in Sweden.
