Talks bid to avert airport strikes

Talks aimed at averting a series of planned airport strikes that could wreck bank holiday travel plans for millions will take place on Wednesday.

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.

The two unions involved - Unite and the GMB - said their officials will meet at conciliation service Acas with bosses of the management company in the dispute, airport services business Swissport.
