German airline Air Berlin PLC says it is returning to negotiations with a union representing its pilots — a move that averts threatened strikes.
Air Berlin said Thursday that the two sides have agreed to hold talks “on unresolved issues of the framework collective agreement.”
The union had said earlier this week that Air Berlin pilots and their counterparts at long-haul subsidiary LTU would stage brief warning walkouts “in the coming days” in a dispute over working conditions.
Air Berlin is Germany’s second largest airline after Deutsche Lufthansa AG. Pilots recently suspended a strike at Lufthansa in a separate dispute.
