Airport strike resolved

Friday, 30 June 2023 04:36

Unions and airport management have reached an agreement and the strike has been called off.

Under the agreement, the new pay structure - which triggered the dispute - won't be implemented until January 1 2025.

In the meantime an joint committee will be set up to discuss future pay plans - that won't meet until September.

Unions agree that no strikes will be called while negotiations are ongoing.

Airport management says it's delighted at the agreement and the resumption of operations.

But delays and cancellations are expected for the next 24/48 hours.

Passengers are advised to check with the airline for the latest details.
