Oslo Airport airspace shut for five hours as Norwegian air traffic controllers strike enters third day
Norwegian air traffic controllers strike shuts Oslo Airport for five hours Sunday
Oslo Airport Gardermoen closed its airspace for five hours on Sunday morning, grounding all flights between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. local time as a strike by Norwegian air traffic controllers entered its third day. The shutdown affected 147 of the airport’s 346 scheduled departures, according to an Avinor departure overview cited by Aftenposten .
The strike began on Friday after two days of failed mediation between the Norwegian Air Traffic Controllers’ Association and Spekter, the employer organization. The dispute centers on working conditions, including break regulations, instructor framework rules, and lifecycle policies for controllers. Twelve controllers initially walked out at Bergen Flesland Airport and Gardermoen, as well as at control centers managing traffic into Gardermoen and over western Norway, reducing capacity for normal operations .
On Saturday, western Norway’s airspace was closed, stranding hundreds of passengers overnight at Bergen’s Flesland Airport, where Avinor coordinated with the Red Cross to provide blankets and camp beds. Avinor warned of significant delays and cancellations with nationwide ripple effects on Sunday .
Norwegian Air Shuttle estimated 9,000 of its passengers would be affected by Sunday’s cancellations, while Avinor projected around 95,000 travelers would pass through Gardermoen during the day. Four arrivals and four departures between Stockholm Arlanda and Oslo were among the canceled flights .
Norway’s national mediator, Mats Ruland, said on Saturday that there was no basis for new negotiations between the parties, noting no contact had occurred since talks collapsed . The union has threatened to expand the strike to include eight more controllers on Tuesday, potentially widening disruptions .

Strejkar – med lön på 1,7 miljoner: Inte synd om Oslos flygplats stänger på söndag för trafik efter att flygledare gått ut i strejk. Flera avgångar till Sverige påverkas. Men med sina höga löner får de inte sympati. Det är inte en grupp att tycka synd om, säger en ekonomiprofessor till NRK.
