Airbus workers at Broughton and Filton have secured a bonus of more than £3K after the business returned to profit.
The aerospace giant was badly hit by the pandemic and the total workforce at Broughton fell from more than 6,000 to just over 4,000.
But the recovery has gone well and the business posted strong results last month - although this was ahead of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
