Norwegian Air, one of Europe's most popular low-cost carriers, could be facing a pilot strike from June 1st. This potential strike stems from differences over working conditions and pay between the company's management and the unions representing the pilots.

Pilots' demands

The pilots are demanding improved working conditions, particularly in terms of pay, flight hours and rest periods. They are also calling for greater transparency and dialogue with management on safety and flight management issues.

Potential impact on passengers

If the strike materializes, it could disrupt thousands of flights, affecting a large number of passengers. Here are some possible consequences for travellers:

  • Flight cancellations and delays
  • Route modification
  • Claims and refund requests

Passengers are advised to monitor Norwegian Air's official communications for updated flight information.

Reply from Norwegian Air

Norwegian Air's management has expressed its wish to negotiate with the unions to avoid a strike. They say they are actively working towards a solution that would be acceptable to all parties concerned, stressing the importance of maintaining continuity of operations for their customers.

Support from European trade unions

Pilot unions from other airlines across Europe have expressed their support for the Norwegian Air pilots. This solidarity could intensify the pressure on Norwegian Air's management to respond favorably to the pilots' demands.

Forecasts and outlook

While the June 1st negotiations continue. Airline industry observers are keeping a close eye on this situation, as the outcome of this strike could have significant repercussions for the entire European airline sector.

Norwegian Air passengers are advised to remain vigilant and make contingency plans in case of disruptions. Experts also recommend checking the company's website regularly for updates, and contacting customer service for further information.
