An article from Ritzau hypothesizing the closing of flights to CPH if meteorologists strike:
Konflikt kan ramme flytrafikken i Danmark
Not saying it will happen, as I’ve no idea of the precedent here; but perhaps worth consideration.

With the danish government having threatened to do a lockout from the 10th of April, how will that affect people flying to and from CPH with SAS? The danish news are of course more focused on how it will effect the health care system and public transportation.
So I am wondering if there is someone with more insight than me, who knows what we as flyers should expect.

Do not that the article come from a very union biased (and owned) news site - they have a very real interest in stirring up fear, doubt and uncertainty. Lets see. Personally I do not change or alter travel plans - and expect very little impact.

I don't have any travel plans that can be affected, I connect through Copenhagen the 2nd, and then not again until it is over for sure. Would I rebook anything now if I had other plans? No, I would wait until I knew the need.

The negotiations seems to be heading in the right direction, so it is very unlikely not to be pushed at least a week.
And my guess we will not see any major strike or lockout based on current news flow. The disagreements are too small by now to shot down the country But let's see.

Thank you. It's very hard to get news. I have been concerned on two counts, bith pointing to a worker shortage in Drnmark, thus strengthening the postion of the unions:

Fingers crossed that a strike will be averted.

I am not sure the signals are so strong. I think the signals in municipality negotiations are promising. But the signals from the region level are not particularly positive. I have not read a word about the state level negotiations. We can only hope that no news is good news. Probably quiet negotiations are less likely to end up in conflicts, than negotiations via media.

The strikes and lockout has been pushed 2 weeks by the arbitration.
Earliest possible strike action is 22nd of April, and earliest effect of the lockout is 28th of April
