Low-cost airline Wizz Air has found itself on a collision course with several Norwegian municipalities after its establishment in the country's domestic market last fall. Now the company is threatening to sue some of them.

Wizz Air is threatening to sue several Norwegian municipalities and counties as well as the state-owned electricity grid company Statenett after they boycotted the Hungarian low-cost carrier to get its employees to join the union.

The writes news site e24.no on Monday, based on a press release from Wizz Air.

The background is a boycott against the company, which Wizz Air believes was done without warning and without evaluating whether it was legal.

Wizz Air started domestic flights in Norway in October, and since then the company has been the subject of much debate. On October 14 said Prime Minister Erna Solberg said she supported a boycott, and that Wizz Air could not deny employees the right to organize.

Earlier in December, Wizz Air's head of communications Andras Rado made a statement in an email to the news site The class struggle, and stated that "attempts to use boycott and bullying tactics to pressure employees to organize are a clear violation of their rights.".
