A planned strike by thousands of workers at Heathrow has been suspended while they vote on a revised pay offer.
Flights faced disruption by the threatened industrial action on the Friday and Saturday of the August bank holiday weekend.
But the Unite union confirmed that a ballot is under way on the latest pay offer made by Heathrow to more than 4,000 security, airside operations and passenger services staff.
The vote closes on September 2, and the union said the strike has been suspended to let it take place.
A Heathrow spokesman said: “We’re pleased Unite has postponed the strike action scheduled for August 23 and 24 to give union members the time to consider our revised offer.
We have put an additional £2.5 million on the table since talks began, with our current offer bringing the total pay rise to 7.8 per cent over two years.”
Another strike date was suspended earlier this month to allow for a vote on a previous pay offer.
