ISLAMABAD: The pilots association Wednesday announced to call off strike but with conditions.
The Pakistan Airlines Pilots’ Association (Palpa) took the decision during a session of the Senate Standing Committee on Aviation in Islamabad today.
Palpa President Amir Hashmi said that the association called off the strike on the guarantee of the chairman and members of the standing committee. During the session, the committee chairman ruled that all stakeholders including officials of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) meet in two days’ time to resolve the crisis.
The chairman also ordered that a report on resolution of the dispute be presented in the committee in its next session on Friday.
Over 80 flights scheduled by the Pakistani flag carrier were cancelled and over 5,000 passengers affected since Thursday when the pilots refused to work following a dispute over conditions.
