SAS and pilot unions were set to resume negotiations over new collective agreements on Monday as a crippling strike, that the Scandinavian airline has said is threatening its existence, entered its third week.

Most SAS pilots in Sweden, Denmark and Norway walked out on July 4 after talks over conditions related to the carrier's rescue plan collapsed. The parties returned to the negotiating table in the Swedish capital on July 13.
