Pakistani airline employees call off strike

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) -- Employees of Pakistan's state airline have called off a four-day strike that crippled air travel in the country after the resignation of the top company official.

The leader of the employee union for Pakistan International Airlines says their major demand was the resignation of the company's managing director. The official submitted his resignation Friday evening, prompting celebration among the strikers.

Union leader Sohail Baloch says they hope to have flights running again after midnight. The strike lasted four days and grounded more than 200 flights.
