"All of the bags are just sitting outside," a stranded passenger told The Local.

SAS Ground Handling, the largest aircraft ground handling company in Scandinavia, serves more than 30 Scandinavian airports. SAS headquarters are located at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm.

The strike was reportedly a result of SAS leadership laying off 900 baggage handlers in order to force new negotiations on a local level. Shortly before 10pm the strike was called off, as suddenly as it began.
