SVT reports that SAS had cancelled 12 flights by Saturday morning, including the 07:00 service to Stockholm. The broadcaster said Oslo Airport Gardermoen could close for five hours from 06:30 on Sunday.
Avinor says the strike is reducing capacity in Norwegian airspace and causing delays and cancellations across its airports. It advises passengers to follow updates from their airline.
Twelve controllers at Gardermoen and Bergen were on strike after mediation failed on Friday, according to SVT. The union could call out eight more on Tuesday.
