Planned industrial action by workers at Southampton Airport has been called off after a pay dispute was resolved.

Members of Unite, including firefighters and technicians, were due to take industrial action from Friday.

The union said an improved pay offer of 10% plus a one-off payment of £1,500 was made following successful negotiations.
