Australian airline Qantas has been ordered to resume flights after it grounded all of its planes during an industrial dispute.
An independent tribunal in Australia has ruled that the dispute must be brought to a permanent end following an emergency session in Melbourne.
The ruling, which gives both sides 21 days to resolve the dispute before a compulsory arbitration, said: "We have decided to terminate protected industrial action in relation to each of the proposed enterprise agreements immediately."
Nearly 70,000 people have been affected by the decision to ground hundreds flights in 22 countries.
The airline says it has lost up to 25 per cent of its long-term bookings during the three month crisis, sparked by restructuring plans and union concerns at the potential loss of up to 35,000 jobs.
A Qantas spokesman said 600 flights had been cancelled because of the industrial action and added the strikes have cost the airline 15 million Australian dollars (£10 million) a week.
Fair Work Australia heard evidence from the airline, unions and officials before making its ruling.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the decision "provides certainty for Qantas passengers".
He added: "We will be getting our aircraft back up in the air as soon as we possibly can. It could be as early as Monday afternoon on a limited schedule with the approval of the regulator."
On the company's Facebook page a statement said: "We will be getting our aircraft back in the air as soon as we possibly can, following the Fair Work Australia decision. It could be as early as Monday afternoon on a limited schedule with the approval of the regulator.
"We apologise to all Qantas customers that have been impacted by the industrial action over the past few months and in particular the past few days."
Australian Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten said: "We are pleased that after 24 hours of turmoil, commonsense has been restored".
