A strike planned by British Airways pilots for 27 September has been called off, the pilots' union has said.
The British Airline Pilots Association's general secretary, Brian Strutton, said on Wednesday: "Someone has to take the initiative to sort out this dispute and with no sign of that from BA the pilots have decided to take the responsible course.
"In a genuine attempt at establishing a time out for common sense to prevail, we have lifted the threat of the strike on 27 September."
The union warned on Wednesday that it retained the right to announce further strike dates "should BA refuse meaningful new negotiations."
It said: "BA passengers rightly expect BA and its pilots to resolve their issues without disruption and now is the time for cool heads and pragmatism to be brought to bear.
