PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE STRIKE

Oslo Airport is preparing for a possible strike by refueling personnel and airport fuel suppliers. This could have serious consequences for air travel.

Parat and the Federation of Norwegian Industries are negotiating revision of the oil transport agreement. Should the parties fail to agree, a large number of union workers who refuel aircraft at Oslo Airport will be taken out on strike.

A potential strike would be implemented on Friday, 10 October at 06.00. If there is a strike, it will mean that the refueling of aircraft cannot proceed as normal, affecting air traffic at Oslo Airport in the process.

“Of course we hope the parties will reach agreement, but we want to take precautions and inform passengers about a potential strike starting Friday morning,” says spokesman Lasse A. Vangstein at Oslo Airport.

“If there is a strike, there will be delays and cancellations. We ask all passengers to contact their airline for information about their flight.”

Oslo Airport will issue information through all our channels as soon as we know whether or not there will be a strike.
