Fact is, when SAS went on strike, the price of a ticket Oslo Stockholm with Norwegian jumped to 8000 NOK. So much for their low cost guarantee.
The Norwegian market is just a small part of Norwegian, and for the Norwegian state to pay to support staff in Ireland, UK, France, Spain, USA, Thailand, etc is just pain stupid. These worker contribute nothing to Norway.
Let these countries carry the cost. If they want to.
All staff are employed on local contracts with terms and conditions for the country in which they’re based. Therefore, respective Government Covid 19 assistance is applicable i.e. here in the U.K. JRS for LGW based employees etc. There is no extra burden for Norway in that respect.
