THE planned walk-out at Gatwick airport by baggage handlers and check-in staff has been called off for the moment.
The one-day strikes on Bank Holiday Monday and August 29 were halted after talks between Unite unions and employers Swissport.
A spokesman for Unite said: "We have suspended the industrial action. After 12 hours of talks at Acas we now have a revised offer in which improvements have been made and we will now ballot our members."
Swissport had said it felt its initial pay offer was "fair... in the light of the current economic climate".
