The agreement was confirmed by both the company and the unions after a negotiation session ran through Monday and into the early hours of Tuesday.
More than 2,500 SAS flights have been cancelled since July 4, and the airline says the strike is jeopardizing its ability to raise capital.

The walkout comes after weeks of negotiations between the airline and the union over pay and working conditions failed.
