Muscat:
The airport workers’ union at London Heathrow opted out of their planned strike for August 5 as talks were underway for a solution to end the stalemate.
According to Oman Air, which operates double daily flights to London, in a statement said that its flights at the Heathrow were operating as per schedule on Monday.
“The strike action has not been decided. We are closely monitoring the situation, and are making plans to ensure any disruptions to our flight operations at London’s Heathrow Airport will be minimized if the strike action goes ahead,” Oman Air said.
“We urge all guests to monitor our website and social media channels for up to date information on the status of our flight operations,” the airline said.
Meanwhile, the strike on Tuesday (August 6) is still scheduled to go ahead, the Heathrow Airport statement said.
"We are continuing talks with Unite today and we remain hopeful that we can find a resolution and stop this disruptive and unnecessary threat of strike action. "We regret that passengers have been inconvenienced by this and urge them to contact their airline for up-to-date information on the status of their service."
