Pilots of Argentina's Austral airline Sunday suspended a two-day strike ahead of Monday talks with airline directives that will also be attended by the country's labor minister, said the Airline Aviators' Union (UALA).
The airline has resumed its delayed flight operations after the strike which started on Friday, said UALA.
Many flights were re-programmed due to ash clouds over many Argentine provinces amid the recent eruption of the Chaiten volcano in Chile, it said.
UALA launched a strike in protest of a possible merger of Austral and Aerolineas Argentinas, the biggest airline in the country. The merger would lead to job cuts, threatening the interests of the union members, it said.
It was estimated that some 4,000 passengers on the internal flights were affected in the wake of the strike.
