Security staff strike deadlock will close Dundee Airport

Dundee Airport will be hit with strike action.
Dundee Airport will be hit with strike action.

Strike action by security staff at Scotland’s regional airports will go ahead on Tuesday, leading to the closure of Dundee Airport.

Dundee is the only one of 11 sites operated by Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (Hial) that has been affected to such an extent by industrial action.

The strike was called by the Prospect union after talks with Hial on pay and conditions broke down last week.

Both parties remain confident they will resolve the matter, with airport bosses saying “some progress” had been made.

Nonetheless, they said Dundee Airport would be forced to close during the 48-hour strike as they consider the union’s position. Services will cease at noon on Tuesday.

A spokesman for Hial said: “Following detailed discussions with Prospect we believe we have made some progress with the union, with both sides showing willingness to compromise. We now require some time with our Transport Scotland colleagues to consider the issues we have discussed with Prospect.”

The spokesman said it was “regrettable” strike action would take place in the meantime after an appeal to postpone industrial action as a “sign of goodwill” was rejected.

Union members are demanding a significant increase in pay, at a level bosses have described as “unrealistic”.
