PARIS (Reuters) - Franco-Dutch airline Air France-KLM (PA:AIRF) said on Tuesday an Amsterdam court had ruled in favour of its Dutch arm KLM in a pension dispute with a pilots' union.
The Dutch Airline Pilots Association, which represents 98 percent of KLM's pilots, had accused KLM of reneging on a commitment made in a collective bargaining agreement to increase pension entitlements in line with inflation.
"KLM is confident it will be able to arrive at a suitable solution with the VNV," Air France-KLM said in a statement.
Europe's fifth-largest airline group has already faced industrial action by pilots and cabin crew at Air France and strike threats from ground staff and cabin crew at the Dutch unit.
