Domestic flights and services to Finland have been cancelled by the airline as union representatives seek a new agreement with bosses.

Passengers travelling between some Swedish cities and to Finland have so far been affected by the strike, which got under way at Monday 7am. 

Flights to and from Stockholm and Kalmar, Visby, Åbo and Vasa were called off in the Monday morning. Later on Monday, four evening flights from the Swedish capital to the latter three destinations were also cancelled after afternoon crunch talks between union representatives and the airline failed to arrive at a resolution.
