LONDON, May 22 (Reuters) - The British Air Line Pilots' Association has withdrawn its court action against airline British Airways , a BALPA spokesman said, signalling a potentially costly pilots' strike has been averted.
Shares in British Airways climbed 3.8 percent to 210.5p.
"We have withdrawn the action," said BALPA spokesman Keith Bill by phone on Thursday. "We will give our reasons later."
BALPA had asked the court to rule that its right to strike over BA's proposed OpenSkies service was unlimited by BA's rights to establish operations in other EU states.
