Airport back to normal

The airport slowly returned to normal over the course of the weekend. By Saturday afternoon the majority of flights were on time.

Workers called off their strike on Friday afternoon – the action shutdown the airport for most of Friday. 

Unions say they’re happy to have reached an agreement with the management. 

The walkout was called after a new pay scale was voted on by the board. Unions say it would have meant a cut in pay and a loss of bonuses. 

The agreement puts back the implementation of the new pay deal until January 2025 – and an independent negotiator will be brought in. Full scale talks will start after the summer. 

The unions have agreed not to call any further strikes while talks are ongoing.
