Hundreds of British Airways staff at London's Heathrow airport voted to call off strike action after accepting a pay offer, two unions said on Friday, averting any further disruption at airports during a busy period for air travel, APA reports citing Reuters.

Earlier this month, British Airways' check-in staff at Heathrow suspended a strike after the airline agreed to improve its pay offer.

Staff represented by the GMB and Unite unions voted to approve their respective pay offers from British Airways, they said on Friday.

"No one wanted a summer strike at Heathrow, but our members had to fight for what was right," Nadine Houghton, national officer for the GMB union said.
