LBA open and operating as normal following withdrawal of all proposed strike action over October Half Term

We welcome the decision by Unite to withdraw the planned industrial action scheduled between 23 October and 2 November, providing reassurance for thousands of passengers travelling through Leeds Bradford Airport during the October Half Term period.

A revised pay offer remains on the table for both our air traffic controllers and our hourly paid colleagues, and both Unite and LBA agree that ACAS support will be helpful to progress the discussions and it is anticipated that process will commence in the coming days.

We remain focused on reaching a resolution that is fair, sustainable and in the best interests of our colleagues, customers and the airport.

With all planned strike action now withdrawn, Leeds Bradford Airport will operate as normal throughout the October Half Term period, with no disruption expected to services.

We would like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding while discussions have been ongoing and look forward to welcoming passengers through the airport as normal.
