Icelandair braces for open-ended mechanics strike from September 23
Icelandair faces an indefinite strike by aircraft mechanics starting September 23 unless a new collective agreement is reached. The airline expects disruption to its flight operations, with schedule changes and cancellations possible.
Icelandair could face an open-ended strike by its aircraft mechanics from September 23. The Icelandic union FVFÍ, which represents mechanics employed by the airline, has called the industrial action to begin at 00:01 that day.
If Icelandair and the union do not agree on a new collective agreement before then, the airline expects disruption to its flight operations. Schedule changes and cancellations are also possible.
According to the company, the financial impact of a strike on the Icelandair Group cannot yet be assessed.
