Hi!

Just thought I should put a little post here. First of all I have to say sorry to all our flying collegues and passengers who got affected by what have happened here in Norway.

The reason for this 0-rate in ENOS AOR is bacicly that we take our work and the security serious.
When AVINOR (Norwegian CAA) dropped the "bomb" this morning, all of us working in Røyken (ATCC and APP) got really upset.
Its not easy to hear you have to relocate and all what this brings with it regarding life and family situation.

So because we dont want to control without a "clear head", as also is stated in your guidelines. We did the only correct thing to "close down" the airspace in the intrest of safety for all you pilots and the passengers you carry with you.

So its not been any industrial action, or other form for strike taking part at all.
All that have happened is a very human reaction to a very hard situation.

thx.
