<p>Members of the Unite union were due to walk out from one minute past midnight for 48 hours.</p>
<p>The two sides have been meeting throughout the weekend under the chairmanship of the conciliation service Acas.</p>
<p>Unite said in a brief statement:<em> “Tomorrow’s strike by Unite members working for Heathrow Airport has been suspended to allow for further talks at Acas tomorrow.</em></p>

<p>&mdash; Unite the union (@unitetheunion) <a href="https://twitter.com/unitetheunion/status/1158068036714323969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2019</a></p></blockquote>

<p><em>“Under the chairmanship of the conciliation service Acas, tomorrow’s talks will involve senior directors from Heathrow Airport and senior Unite officials with the aim of averting a second day of planned strike action set to start at 00:01 and finish at 23:59 on Tuesday 6 August.</em></p>
<p><em>“Unite will not be making any further comment while talks are ongoing.”</em></p>
<p>Heathrow has already cancelled around 177 flights tomorrow and Tuesday, causing disruption to passengers.</p>
<p>But the scale of disruption would have been worse if tomorrow’s strike had gone ahead.</p>
<p>Passengers are being urged to check with their airline for the latest news on flights.</p>
<p>Unite members, including security staff, firefighters and engineers have voted heavily against a pay offer Heathrow said was worth 7.3% over two-and-a-half years.</p>
