"The price of jet fuel has doubled in ten days. Even though we are trying to absorb cost increases as much as we can, this is a shock that hits the aviation industry directly," he tells Dagens Industri.
SAS has already canceled a couple of hundred departures in March. For April, there will be at least 1,000 cancellations.
- But that should be compared with the fact that we have 800 flights per day, so these are not drastic measures.
This mainly concerns destinations with many daily departures.
SAS stated earlier on Tuesday that around a hundred flights in Norway would be canceled this week, citing fuel prices. However, the pilots' union believes that this is due to stalled wage negotiations, according to NTB.
