“I am very relieved that the pilots’ strike has now been called off and that our passengers can finally feel confident that flights will soon be running normally,” he said.
Halvor Vatnar, leader of the Norwegian Pilots' Union said the company had come some way to giving the unions the agreement they wanted, giving all pilots in Scandinavia the same links to the parent company, equal agreements, and common career opportunities.
