Expert: May be chaos in air traffic today
Pål Simonsen, an expert on the airport, landing sites and surroundings, tells VG that Thursday’s flight chaos has enormous consequences.
– For the airlines, it will be a violent solitaire that must be done later to get things going. It’s not going to be easy.
Simonsen works for SAS himself, and says that they work hard.
– It has severe consequences with an extremely large number of people being affected. Many are probably sitting on planes, while others are waiting at various airports. The job later will be to keep the traffic moving, and try to solve the problem. In addition, all customers must have their questions answered.

Chris Liestøl and his gang of friends have driven five hours from Kristiansand to Oslo to catch a flight to Turkey that was supposed to leave at 06.30.
– We have been driving all night and were really ready for beer and sun. We have several agreements down there that we had to meet, but now we can’t do any of the parts, says Liestøl, who is still sitting on the plane at Gardermoen.
