Description
The airline company Norwegian is reopening its base at Arlanda Airport, Stockholm, with 54 direct connections planned for the summer of 2022. The company is to hire 270 new cabin crew staff by the beginning of March 2022. It has already received more than 1,500 applications for the positions.
Norwegian has undergone heavy restructuring due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cabin crew that will be recruited is the first Swedish-based flight crew the airline has had since the start of the health crisis.
Norwegian is the fourth largest low-cost carrier in Europe. At the end of 2021, Norwegian employed 3,600 people, of which 2,100 were based in Norway, where the company is originated.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
