Dutch court ruled in KLM favour in pension dispute - Air France-KLM

PARIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Franco-Dutch airline Air France-KLM said on Tuesday an Amsterdam court had ruled in favour of its Dutch arm KLM in a pension dispute with a pilots' union.

The Dutch Airline Pilots Association, which represents 98 percent of KLM's pilots, had accused KLM of reneging on a commitment made in a collective bargaining agreement to increase pension entitlements in line with inflation.

"KLM is confident it will be able to arrive at a suitable solution with the VNV," Air France-KLM (LSE: 0LN7.L - news) said in a statement.

Europe's fifth-largest airline group has already faced industrial action by pilots and cabin crew at Air France (Paris: FR0000031122 - news) and strike threats from ground staff and cabin crew at the Dutch unit. ($1 = 0.8973 euros) (Reporting by Michel Rose)
