A strike by pilots which crippled Iberia for three days has been called off.
The cost of the disruption at the Spanish carrier is reportedly estimated at 5 million euros a day.
The dispute came to an end after the airline committed to retain its pilots despite plans to launch a new low cost carrier, Catair, in October.
Iberia flights are not expected to be running fully to schedule until the end of today after more than 200 services a day were grounded since Monday.
