Air France-KLM Group pilots canceled a strike scheduled for Friday after chief executive officer-designate, Jean-Marc Janaillac, offered them a deal, the principal unions said.

The agreement will keep pilots on the job while suspending implementation of compensation changes, the unions said. French magazine Marianne reported earlier that pilots at the Air France arm had been asked to rule out striking before November in return for a new “social contract” with the airline.
