A strike by baggage screeners at Gatwick has been called off.
The workers, employed by ICTS, at Gatwick Airport were due to take action on August 22 to August 26 over pay.
Unite, the UK's leading union, has reported that workers have now been given an improved pay offer.
A ballot on the offer is due to be held.
If the offer is rejected, strikes will go ahead from August 29 to September 2.
Unite regional officer Ben Davis said: “Following an improved offer from ICTS, Unite has suspended strikes in order to ballot its members.”
The strikes were due to cause disruption at the airport.

Earlier this week, Mr Davis said: “ICTS is entirely responsible for the disruption that will be caused to Gatwick passengers during the strike action.
"It can well afford to put forward an acceptable pay offer and that is what needs to happen.
“Despite performing a critical role, these workers are among the lowest paid at the airport. Gatwick should be stepping in and pressuring ICTS to put an improved offer forward.”
