An unprecedented 17-day strike at Taiwan's largest private airline that saw more than 1,200 flights cancelled and 300,000 passenger journeys disrupted has ended after management reached a collective agreement with cabin crew.

The strike at EVA Airways was the longest in Taiwan's aviation history and comes less than six months after another strike by pilots at its competitor China Airlines.

More than 2,300 cabin crew demanding better benefits and working conditions walked out last month after failed negotiations, forcing three weeks of flight cancellations ahead of the busy summer holiday period.
