Negotiators announced early Thursday morning 20 Shevat that agreement was reached in talks between labor and management to bring an end to the El Al labor sanctions.

The airline has been plagued to flight delays and cancellations during recent weeks as a result of pilots calling in sick, not reporting shifts and canceling flights at a moment’s notice.

It is announced that it is hoped the final draft of the agreement will be signed by both sides some time on Thursday.
