STOCKHOLM: Around 20,000 passengers were stranded on Saturday after Scandinavian airline SAS cancelled 159 flights due to a Swedish pilots’ strike and warned of another 220 flight cancellations on Sunday.

“We have done all that’s in our power to avoid a strike, but we have unfortunately been unable to come to an agreement. Our main priority now is to take care of our customers and (we) are working vigilantly to do everything we can to assist passengers affected,” SAS spokeswoman Karin Nyman said in a statement.
