Actually, the parties, the cabin crew union and the airline SAS, were supposed to have responded to the mediators' request overnight on Wednesday, but the negotiations dragged on.
On Wednesday afternoon, the parties reached an agreement, according to NRK. The strike threat affecting 640 cabin crew members at SAS in Norway has been called off for the time being.
The Parat union will now present the agreement to its members, who will take a position on it.
"It is the members who have the final decision," says Martinus Røkkum, who represents the cabin crew union within Parat, in a press release.
The effects on air traffic would have been significant if the strike had taken place. The uncertainty caused SAS to cancel several flights, including to Stockholm.
The strike threat also led to sharply increased ticket prices for alternative travel by plane, train and bus, according to the NTB news agency.
