Pilots at Scandinavian airline SAS's Finnish unit Blue1 have agreed on a wage deal with an employer organization, a trade union official said on Wednesday.

"An agreement was reached at Blue1... and the union board is prepared to recommend approving it to their members," Kari Eskola, a lawyer at union AKAVA said.

The new deal will increase pilots' wages by about 15 percent in the next 38 months.

Blue1's pilots immediately ended their ban on overtime work, effective since January 3.
