Air traffic controller strike grounds nine flights in Norway

Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe have canceled a total of nine flights on Monday morning due to an ongoing air traffic controller strike. Norwegian canceled six flights, citing information from Avinor about limited capacity in the airspace. Widerøe also canceled three flights.

The canceled Norwegian flights include three round trips to or from Oslo in the early morning hours. The airline stated that affected passengers are being contacted via SMS and email, and others should proceed to the airport as normal unless notified otherwise. The specific flights canceled by Norwegian are DY604 (Oslo-Bergen), DY611 (Bergen-Oslo), DY742 (Oslo-Trondheim), DY751 (Trondheim-Oslo), DY524 (Oslo-Stavanger), and DY527 (Stavanger-Oslo).

Widerøe's canceled flights are WF101 (Florø-Bergen), WF582 (Kristiansand-Bergen), and WF671 (Trondheim-Bergen). The air traffic controller strike, which began Friday afternoon, is the cause of these disruptions, having previously led to the closure of Oslo's Gardermoen Airport on Sunday morning.

Passengers who are affected by the cancellations are being contacted continuously by SMS and email. Other passengers should show up as normal if they have not received other information from Norwegian.
