The collective labour agreements of the Icelandic Coast Guard's pilots' have been open since 31 December 2019, and negotiations have been slow and arduous. Throughout this period, we have made every effort to maintain a high level of service, despite understaffing and perceived unwillingness to negotiate on the part of the State.

FÍA, the Icelandic Airline Pilots' Association, condemns the fact that the Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs has hired Blubird Nordic to handle the transport of goods, incl. military equipment, in relation to the war in Ukraine.

The FÍA newsletter for December is now out. Among articles are news of the winter service at Keflavík Airport, the new CLA with Eagle Air, and the state of play of the CLA negotiations for the Coast Guard pilots, who have been without a contract for two years now. Enjoy and have a happy holiday!
