The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has welcomed an agreement between Ryanair and Irish-based pilots.
It followed five days of strikes since July 12th in a dispute over seniority issues and base transfers.
Fórsa, the union representing Irish Ryanair pilots, said the agreement came after a 22-hour negotiating session which began Wednesday and concluded on Thursday morning.
The deal will now go to a ballot - with the union calling on its members to accept it.
Thousands of passengers have been affected by Ryanair flight cancellations across Europe in recent weeks as pilots held strike action in a number of countries.
Pat Dawson, CEO of the ITAA, said: "The ITAA is relieved by this morning's news of an agreement between both parties and we hope that this will stand for the long-term, providing Ryanair passengers with peace of mind when booking.
"We look forward to other Ryanair bases, outside of Ireland, also working towards lasting, good industrial relationships with the airline, to reduce strike action and disharmony to consumers."

In a tweet, Ryanair confirmed it had reached agreement with Fórsa on behalf of its Irish-based pilots.
It said it will take the deal to its board "after the Irish-based pilots have voted on the signed agreement."
The five strikes by Irish pilots led to Ryanair cancelling around 100 flights in and out of the country.
Ryanair said that all passengers affected were refunded or placed on different flights.
