Norwegian air traffic controllers end four-day strike

A four-day strike by Norwegian air traffic controllers is over. The Norwegian Air Traffic Controllers' Association and employers' group Spekter reached a deal on Monday afternoon.

Striking controllers are expected to return to their posts as soon as practically possible, according to the union and Spekter.

Avinor, which operates the country's airports and airspace, said air traffic was returning to normal. It cautioned, though, that passengers could still face delays and cancellations in the near term as operations recover.

The strike caused widespread disruption over its four days. Specific figures on cancelled flights or affected passengers were not detailed in the available information.

No further details were given on the terms of the agreement between the controllers' association and Spekter.
