Staff Shortage: Scandinavian Airlines Announces 4,000 Flight Cancellations

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is cancelling around 4,000 flights this summer due to staff shortages, the carrier announced yesterday.

5% of SAS’s planned journeys will no longer go ahead, affecting passengers travelling between Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm and the rest of the world.

The axed flights will fall between May and August, so those booked with SAS should keep an eye on emails to see if their journey is still happening.

SAS has confirmed the flights will be spread across all geographical areas, including domestic flights in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

With routes all over Europe, and as far as Tokyo and Los Angeles, a lot of different routes could be impacted.
