Strike action planned by easyJet cabin crew in Spain has been called off.
Holidaymakers heading to Spain's popular hotspots can breathe a sigh of relief as the three days of strike planned have been scrapped after the USO union and airline reached an agreement.
The strikes were meant to start today (Friday 29) and run through to Sunday, impacting airports in Barcelona, Malaga and Palma .
Last night, the union announced that a pay deal was reached, confirming a 22 per cent increase in base salary over three years. A four per cent salary increase will apply backdating from March this year, as well as a 13 per cent increase in 2023 and five per cent the year after.

On top of that, workers terms and conditions have also been amended in the deal. Employment contracts will be adjusted and will guarantee nine months of employed activity in comparison to the current eight months. Those who also speak a third language will also see a pay increase.
The deal was approved by the worker's assembly with 76.6 per cent of the 418 easyJet cabin crew voting in favour.
Meanwhile, Ryanair cabin crew in Spain are planning to strike Monday-Thursday everyday from August 8 until January 7 2023 following a dispute over job security pay and working conditions. This follows on from the 18 days of strike seen in July already and since then the union has said a number of Ryanair staff who took part in the strike have lost their jobs.
British Airways pilots are also said to be poised to strike over a pay dispute but a date has not been confirmed.
