The Australian Federation of Air Pilots announced on Wednesday that a potential strike from Qantas Airways (ASX:QAN) Network Aviation pilots has been suspended.

The pilots, currently involved in a pay dispute with the carrier, had planned to strike later this week.

The decision to suspend the strike was prompted by a request from the Western Australian government, due to the high risks posed by former Tropical Cyclone Lincoln in the northwestern region of the state.
