RABAT, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Morocco's flag carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) and its pilots association have reached a deal to end a month-long partial strike of its pilots, the two parties announced in a joint statement Wednesday.

The two parties have not revealed the details of the deal, but the statement said they "welcome the conclusion of an agreement bringing together the points of convergence and re-establishing the climate of confidence."

Tensions between RAM and its pilots started in mid July after month-long bilateral talks failed.

The pilots association demanded a rise in wages and an increase of monthly holidays from four to five days like their foreign peers working for the company.

Since the beginning of the strike on July 18, Morocco's airline cancelled more than 186 flights. Enditem
