Talks bid to avert airport strike

Talks were continuing tonight in an effort to avert a planned series of airport strikes that could cause travel chaos over the bank holiday weekend.

Cabin staff and baggage handlers are due to take part in a series of 24-hour stoppages involving Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester airports over the next few days.

Officials from the two unions involved - Unite and the GMB - are meeting with bosses of the management company in the dispute, airport services business Swissport, at conciliation service Acas.
