Airport strikes scheduled over the UK Bank Holiday weekend at Stansted, Gatwick and Manchester airports have been called off.

Baggage handlers and cabin crew voted to call off the action after reaching a pay deal with airport employers. The two 24-hour walk-outs, scheduled for August 25 and 29, threatened to disrupt the travel plans of up to 1.3 million Britons heading abroad for the Bank Holiday weekend.

Air Malta announced that all scheduled flights to London Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester airports will operate normally on the 25th, 27th, 29th and 1st September.
