The pilots’ association Aeropers and airline management reached an agreement at the latest round of negotiations over the weekend, the company SWISS announced on Monday.
The pilots had threatened to strike next weekend. They have been fighting for better working conditions for months.
An overwhelming majority of pilots had come out in favour of industrial action in a survey published last week if no agreement can be reached with the management.
The dispute between SWISS and its pilots is about the collective labour agreement, which the airline had terminated with the pilots in February 2021 to the end of March 2022.
Last Friday, ground staff at SWISS reached agreement with the company on pay rises from January.
