Air Traffic Controller Strike in Norway May Impact Air Freight Operations
An air traffic controller strike is currently underway in Norway following unsuccessful mediation between the Norwegian Air Traffic Controllers Association (NFF) and Spekter/Avinor Air Navigation Services.
The strike involves air traffic controllers at Oslo Airport Gardermoen, Bergen Airport Flesland, and air traffic control units responsible for parts of Western Norway's airspace.
According to Avinor, the strike may result in reduced capacity within Norwegian airspace, leading to delays and cancellations across parts of the aviation network. While priority will be given to emergency, rescue, military and other critical operations, reduced capacity may also affect commercial flights, including air freight services and time-critical shipments.
For businesses moving goods to or from Norway, the situation may lead to disruptions in supply chains and extended transit times in the coming days. The extent of the impact will depend on how the situation develops and any operational restrictions implemented by aviation authorities and service providers.
We are closely monitoring developments and working with our partners to minimise any impact on customer shipments. Should the strike significantly affect specific consignments, affected customers will be informed as soon as possible.
For the latest updates regarding the situation, please refer to Avinor's official information channels.
