Strikes due to take place at Stansted airport over the bank holiday weekend have been called off.
Baggage handlers and check-in staff had threatened to walk out over a pay dispute with ground handling company Swissport.
But after three days of talks, the Transport and General Workers’ Union (T&G) and GMB said they had agreed to a 12% pay rise over two years.
The unions have suspended strikes pending a ballot of members.
Charter airlines, Ryanair and easyJet would have been affected by the two 15-hour strikes.
