The stalled negotiations means that 230 flights is set for Monday. About 27 000 passengers affected.
SAS has advised against its travelers from going to the airport if they have a set rate. Notification to customers via SMS or on the company website.
– Have you got their flights canceled should book about it or alternatively ask for a refund, says Fredrik Henriksson, Head of SAS Sweden, on Sunday.
According to Jacob Pedersen, an analyst at Danish Sydbank, can the strike cost the SAS tens of millions every day.
– It’s all about at least the levels of double-digit million range, he said.

– Obviously it’s a big expense. But our focus right now is to help the people whose flights are set, what it costs, we can count on afterward, says Fredrik Henriksson.
