Pilot Services Sweden is one of the four subsidiaries of the Norwegian Group that have filed for bankruptcy in Sweden and Denmark. As a result of this, 250 pilots will lose their jobs in Sweden. These pilots are employed by the company but work on Norwegian’s planes.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have set travel restrictions that have had a significant impact on the volumes of air passenger travel. Norwegian has cancelled almost all its flights.

The Infrastructure Minister of Sweden argues that Norwegian Group seems not to have applied for support measures offered by the state.
