The standoff between India's Jet Airways and pilots on strike over the sacking of four colleagues has ended after forcing the cancellation of flights for five days.


Thousands of Jet customers had been forced to change their travel plans as more than 430 pilots reported sick.

The company called it a simulated strike triggered by the sacking of two pilots for setting up a union.

The Press Trust of India agency quoted a spokesman for the airline as saying normal domestic flights would resume by noon on Monday 14th September 2009.

The private carrier operates 365 domestic and 74 international flights daily.

More than 800 flights were cancelled during the strike.
