The current contract between SAS and the pilots’ unions in Denmark, Norway and Sweden expires today, Wednesday.
“Together with Danish Pilot Association, today we have taken a big step forward and has entered into an agreement that reflects SAS and today’s competitive environment,” commented CEO Rickard Gustafson.
