Things are looking up for the thousands of SAS passengers who have been affected by the cabin crew strike that has hampered the Scandinavian airline since Friday last week.
Jakob Esposito, the spokesperson for the SAS cabin crew staff, told DR Nyheder that they will return to work and will get the flights going from noon today.
Yesterday, SAS served notice to its cabin crew staff to “return to work by noon today or consider themselves terminated”, and today, after meeting this morning, the majority of the employees agreed to get back to work.
