SVT has been examining SAS's safety culture for several days. After unions confirmed that there are problems, SAS is now making a complete turnaround. They will meet with the unions and develop an action plan.
”"We take the information very seriously," says flight director Rolf Bakken in a press release.
The announcement comes in a press release that SAS published just before 11 p.m. on Thursday evening.
There is direct reference to SVT's reporting about the uncertainty surrounding the "Unfit for flight" routine.
”"SAS takes this very seriously and together with the affected unions we will now develop an action plan," it says.
The company will also increase information and training efforts.
”"At SAS, flight safety always comes first and there should never be a single question mark among any of our employees about what applies to safety reporting. That is why we take this information very seriously and act immediately. I will meet with representatives of the trade unions to discuss the issue and together develop an action plan. We will also immediately increase information and training efforts regarding the procedures," says Flight Director Rolf Bakken in the press release.
Agree with the union
He has previously denied in two interviews that there were any question marks about the "Unfit for flight" routine.
Rolf Bakken says in the press release that he agrees with the union representative who spoke to SVT during the evening, that the company has good safety work.
”"At the same time, I am concerned that it is also being said that there is uncertainty around unfit reporting. That is why we are now acting forcefully."”
