In France, the pilots’ union SNPL has given the end of the strike at Air France known. SNPL spokesman Guillaume Schmid told the news agency AFP that the decision had been taken, although the negotiations on the working conditions of pilots continue to be bogged down.

The union wanted to continue the discussion in a “serene setting,” it said. You assume “responsibility” by terminating the labor dispute. Air traffic could thus in two to three days to walk normally.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls welcomed the move of the pilots. The country holds 16 percent of the group Air France-KLM.

The talks had been broken off in the night. The strike began two weeks ago and caused massive restrictions. About half of the Air France flight had failed, what is the second largest after Lufthansa European airline cost 10 to 15 million € a day.

the pilots were to strike resigned over plans for Europe-wide expansion of low-cost subsidiary Transavia. Although Air France has now buried this project, the negotiations are not making progress. The pilots fear wage dumping and demands include uniform contracts for their profession.
