PARIS (dpa-AFX) - Air France-KLM Group pilots canceled a strike scheduled for Friday after chief executive officer-designate, Jean-Marc Janaillac, offered them a deal.
The agreement will keep pilots on the job while suspending implementation of compensation changes.
Pilots oppose productivity measures requiring them to work longer hours for the same pay. They also want the airline to orders more planes. A four-day strike that ended June 14 forced Air France to cancel 20 percent of its flights, costing it 40 million euros , based on a preliminary estimate and potentially harming bookings.
