The airline raises its thumb to show solidarity with others in the industry.

– No, he has not betrayed us on Widerøe.

This is how the Norwegian airline launches an advertising copy where the message is an invitation to book air tickets now, for a late autumn vacation, Christmas vacation or next summer, to help save an industry that is on its knees.

Even foreign companies like Lufthansa and KLM receive warm thoughts from the small Norwegian operator that flies to the smallest destinations in the country.

– Thanks for the inspiration

No, we are not hacked. In fact, we mean it! Widerøe writes in the Facebook post that at the time of writing this article has over 100 shares. Positive comments flow, like these:

– This is something that several large companies must comply with. To show solidarity with others so that everyone survives.

– Fantastically made by Widerøe.

– This is one of the many reasons why I like to fly with Widerøe

The company recently lost the tender contract it had with SAS, which runs until February 1, Bergensavisen writes. It happens at the worst possible time. The company already has a volume loss of more than 30 percent.

– Aviation is one of the industries that was affected by covid-19 earlier, harder and that will be affected for the longest time. When the demand for flights decreases, we as subcontractors have less to do, Marius Myhre, director of Widerøe Ground Handling, told Bergensavisen.

For several weeks, management, in dialogue with the unions, has signaled a significant need for restructuring and has decided to reduce the number of man-years in Flesland by 130 from 220.
