The action was called off after the Unite union secured the return of shift allowances that had previously been taken away by dNata, the airline catering contractors at the airport.

The move had meant staff faced pay cuts of between £1,500 to £2,000.

More than 100 dNata workers voted for strike action in response.

The first strikes were expected to take place last month but were delayed for further discussion.

They have now been called off after Unite secured the return of the allowances, meaning  workers will retain the previously agreed night shift premium.

General secretary of Unite Sharon Graham said: “Our members at dNata have shown that when workers stick together, they win together.

“Unite never tolerates attacks on our members’ jobs, terms or conditions and I am pleased this dispute has been successfully resolved.”
