Danish cabin crews at Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) walked off the job in a wildcat strike today, causing major flight disruptions.
This afternoon the airline had cancelled 62 European flights in and out of Copenhagen.
'Further cancellations are expected,' SAS spokesman Jens Langergaard said.
In March 2007, SAS was hit with a similar strike after the airline failed to reach a collective agreement with the 1,600-member Cabin Attendants Union.
According to cabin crew spokesman Niels Henrik Madsen, flight attendants are dissatisfied with their collective agreement being included in a private sector agreement.
'We are not interested in higher salaries but call for better working conditions. Our company is the European company with the lowest number of crew on flights,' Madsen told Danish news agency Ritzau.
