More airports may shut
Six more Norwegian airports, including that of its oil center Stavanger, are due to shut tomorrow if there is no deal to end a ground workers' strike over wages, airport owner Avinor said yesterday.
The strike, which began on Friday, has already shut airports in Bergen, Norway's second largest city, as well as Narvik, Molde, Mo i Rana, Mosjoen and Kristiansund.
Tens of thousands of people were stranded during Norway's national day holiday at the weekend.
