The trade unions of Malév pilots and flight attendants have cancelled the strike called for Friday late on Wednesday because they are confident that an agreement will be reached on Thursday with representatives of Malév Zrt, they said in a statement to MTI.

The unions retain the right to hold a strike in the event that no agreement is reached by Friday, March 25, the statement said.

Malév pilots and flight attendants held a warning strike on Wednesday after failing to reach agreement with management on rest periods.
