Despite the new orientation, entire aircraft must be invested in the future, SAS warns. The transport ministry says they want to make sure the supervisor is followed.
When Geir Jensen and her son Ronny Martinsen from Skien were going to take the plane from Gardermoen to Bergen, he was surprised.
According to Jensen, the SAS plane was completely full. This despite the fact that on April 27, FHI launched a new supervisor recommending that aircraft have at least one empty seat among passengers, provided they do not fly with people from their own home.
Transport Minister Knut Arild Hareide writes in a text message to VG that the advice of health authorities is clear and that they expect companies to follow these.
– After receiving reports of full planes, the Ministry of Transport and Communications has held a dialogue with the companies to ensure that the supervisor will be followed. Health authorities will consider the need for additional measures if the advice is not followed, he continues.

– No vacancies
Jensen also responds to this.
– It was strange when we couldn’t serve coffee due to the corona virus. But there they went. Jensen tells VG that the new rules were ignored.
He and his son would travel from Sandefjord to Bergen for work, but since none of Torp’s flights went directly to Flesland, they decided to leave Gardermoen.
“Before we left we were told that we couldn’t sit next to each other, but there were no openings on the plane that we could see,” says Jensen, before adding that it was the travel company that informed them of this.

– Do not trace infection to planes
According to Knut Morten Johansen, director of public relations for SAS, the entire plane has a natural explanation.
– What happened is that many have reserved a seat on the plane since before and that supervisor came last week. We don’t dump passengers who already have a seat on the plane, Johansen explains, before adding;
– Those who travel cannot fly if they have symptoms or are sick.
It also emphasizes that they carry out strict infection control measures, and that the air in the plane’s cabin is frequently replaced by a Hepa filter, which is also used in hospitals.
– As far as we know, no infection dates back to airplanes, despite the fact that many fly here in Norway.

Track more complete planes
He does not dare to set a date for when travelers do not risk taking a full flight again, but adds that they are working to prevent many from taking the same flight.
– We did it, but it’s longer between planes. That said, these are not extremely complete plans.
– It is difficult to set a date for that. It can be a complete departure on Friday in 14 days.
In addition, Johansen emphasizes that they fly a lot for the health sector and others who have important jobs.
– We depend on planes in this long country.
