Refuelling workers at London Heathrow airport called off a strike that was set to begin on Thursday and had threatened further disruptions at the UK travel hub.
The walkout was suspended after Aviation Fuel Services Ltd made a “sustainably improved offer,†the Unite union said in a statement.
The roughly 50 employees involved will now be given time to consider the proposal, which came about in talks facilitated by a conciliation service, the group said.
AFS is a joint venture among fuel companies BP Plc, TotalEnergies SE, Q8 Aviation and Valero Energy, and supplies fuel to more than 70 airlines including American Airlines Group Inc, Delta Air Lines Inc, United Airlines Holdings Inc and Emirates, according to the union.
The threatened action by refuelling workers was one of a number of labor disputes that have contributed to travel chaos across Europe this summer.
