There have been intense negotiations between the mediators and the employer, Svenska Flygbranschen, on Saturday. And it may yield results.

No offer has been made by the mediators. Instead, they have asked for more time, hoping to reach an agreement.

They believe that with more time, there is still a possibility of finding a solution. No more can be said. We have been far apart, but we also want to find a solution, says Elin Lörnbo, press officer at LO-facket Transport.

The strike warning, which affects departures from Arlanda, is being postponed from Monday to Wednesday, starting at 04:30 until lunchtime.

"This is because we are having constructive talks and there is hope of finding a solution," says Linda Räfsbäck, chief negotiator for Svenska Flygbranschen, in a press release.

The dispute is about the union wanting better working conditions. The warning affects employees at several airlines, including SAS. If no solution is reached, the strike will continue and then expand to cover some charter airlines, including Tui and Sunclass, next weekend.
