Air Malta and the ALPA (Airline Pilots Association – Malta) - the union representing pilots, have signed a three year collective agreement backdated to August 1 2007.

The agreement, which was reached after seven months of talks, was approved by Air Malta’s directors and the ALPA members last week. At one time the union threatened industrial action as a stalemate was reached over pay.

The airline and the union in a joint statement said pay increases are mostly towards the end of the three year period, in line with the airline’s requirement to continue its financial recovery.

ALPA has agreed to increase flexibility in work practices and to increase monthly and yearly flying hours in-line with legal limitations. It was also agreed to synchronise flight time limitations closer to legal definitions, and to streamline certain allowances.
