Scandinavian airline, SAS will resume talks with the pilot’s union following two weeks of strikes

Following two weeks of strikes, SAS is set to continue negotiations with the pilot’s union, after failing to reach new agreements over the weekend.

Pilots in Sweden, Denmark and Norway walked out earlier this month after talks about the airline’s rescue plan, fell apart.

The airline had been struggling to compete with low-cost competition along with the pandemic’s heavy impact on the aviation industry. Now a new challenge has been posed with travel being opened up again, yet not enough staff to manage the airports or aircrafts.

The company has its eyes set on new investors, saying that it must slash costs to achieve success.

It’s understood over 270 thousand passengers have been affected by the cancelled flights, resulting in up to $123 million in losses.

It comes as Sweden’s Government says it won’t provide any more cash to the airline.

Is Bitcoin’s rally here to stay or just another bubble?

Published

on

A combination of institutional interest, economic uncertainty, growing acceptance, and technological progress is driving Bitcoin’s surge.

 
Many factors contribute to Bitcoin’s upward momentum. First and foremost, increasing institutional adoption plays a pivotal role. Major companies and financial institutions are showing growing interest in Bitcoin as an asset class, pouring significant investments into it. This legitimizes the cryptocurrency in the eyes of traditional investors.

Additionally, global economic uncertainty and inflation concerns are pushing individuals to seek alternative investments. Bitcoin, with its limited supply and decentralized nature, is emerging as a store of value and a hedge against economic turbulence.

Moreover, growing mainstream acceptance and awareness are fueling demand. More merchants are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, making it increasingly accessible to consumers.

Furthermore, technological advancements, such as the Lightning Network, are improving Bitcoin’s scalability and usability, enhancing its attractiveness as a digital currency. #featured #bitcoin
