hi affretage,
but that's not new because Viking AB is still operating all the iraq flights and SSH and HRG for all the winter season. also they are starting to operate iraq flights from/to CPH.

VIK cannot operate from CPH. They do not have traffic rights. Show's over. Get used to it. I heard there are some pax coming from Iraq destined for London (via ARN). The pax will then be offloaded at ARN, but guess what, the aircraft will then fly empty to Canada, and the pax will have to swim to the UK. That's what you get for £99. 
Long live Viking - NOT !!!

Where did you here this (not the CPH part as they are happy at ARN)? So basically you are saying they have shut up shop tonight?

Plumponpies - let's revisit that in a few days and see whether you're right or whether Affretage is correct. There are two versions of likely events on here and yours isn't the one I'd put money on.

Whilst I would like to see the airline do well, their website currently lists all flights for next summer as 'Sold Out'
I sincerely hope this is not the end of Viking!

it seems that viking will operate with an only a/c, the SE-RHR. this a/c is one of the a/c that suposedly was going to Canada.
Well hope this is not true: Viking Airlines temporaily ceases operations

Viking Airlines, final chapter?
I hope not true, but it seems like the winter losses are starting already. Hope this is only a temporary blip.

Viking A/L seems to have ceased operations with its four remaining aircraft returned to the lessor over the last few days. Whether this is a temporary or permanent cessation remains to be seen. The Canadian registered B738s were returned to Sunwing A/L on 29/8, while the situation regarding the Swedish registered machines, including two disposed of earlier, is as follows:
SE-RHR B738 (30637) ferried from Stockholm/Arlanda to Shannon 14/10
SE-RHS B738 (28617) rolled out at East Midlands 11/10 in Yakutia scheme & ferried to Lasham 12/10
SE-RHT B733 (24962) ferried from Glasgow to Ostrava 9/10
SE-RHU B733 (28560) to GECAS as N559MS & for WebJet as PR-WJU
SE-RHV B733 (28567) to GECAS as N558MS & for WebJet as PR-WJV
SE-RHX B738 (28592) ferried from Paris/CDG to Ostrava 14/10 after lease to XL A/W France
Viking Hellas seems unaffected at the moment.

Also people, anyone see the similarities between XL and Viking!!
XL UK goes broke but somehow XL France and Germany are both buoyant and survive.
Viking AB/UK ceases and Viking Hellas survives!!
Think the wonderful boss man has found a way of sinking companies to make a tidy profit. All legally of course!
Oh and the best bit none of their front line employees have been told anything yet

Viking Airlines
Having been an Ex-XL'r myself in the past, and seeing this news does not bode well, i do hope that this is just a temporary blip, whatever people think about the Monkey In Charge and his Arthur Daily Vegetable Market Business skills, i hope that the Airline Continues and those employed , remain employed,a job is a job and pays the bills.
I wish all Viking Staff good karma and hope things work out for the better.

confirmed: Viking Airlines 'suspends operations' but vows to return next summer - ttglive
what about all the staff working in Stockholm? is it possible to stop operating only for 3-4 month and then start from nothing again like they have "vowed"?
