Oman Air's scheduled flights to London Heathrow Airport will continue as usual on Monday after an announced airport workers union strike was postponed, the airline said.

In a statement released on Twitter, Oman’s national carrier said it had been notified of a strike at the London airport on August 5 and 6, but later received word that the workers union have opted to postpone their strike action on August 5.

"The strike action on August 6 has not been decided. We are closely monitoring the situation, and are making plans to ensure any disruptions to our flight operations at London's Heathrow Airport will be minimised if the strike action goes ahead," the carrier said in the statement.

"We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, and urge all guests to monitor our website and social media channels for up to date information on the status of our flight operations," it said. - TradeArabia News Service
