Around 130 Leeds Bradford Airport staff, including air traffic controllers, passport control staff, security and cleaners, had planned to strike from Friday 16 October to Sunday 18 October, but the action was suspended after the airport presented revised pay offers.
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said the suspension allows members to vote on the new proposals, with air traffic controllers and hourly‑paid staff balloted separately, and warned that further industrial action could still occur if the offers are rejected, with a possible 11‑day strike scheduled from 23 October to 2 November.
Leeds Bradford Airport said it will operate as normal with no disruption expected between 16 October and 18 October.
Why it matters
The airport’s reassurance that services will run normally provides confidence for passengers and helps maintain travel schedules.
