He said: “The strike that was embarked upon on November 1 against the Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited has been called off pursuant to the acceptance by the company to recall the laid-off members of our union and an undertaking to pay their salaries.
“The agreement was reached at a meeting empanelled by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, NCAA, FAAN, NAMA, and airport security agencies.”
