Unite, Scotland’s leading aviation union, can confirm that two groups of key workers based at Aberdeen airport have secured enhanced pay deals after the threat of strike action. Approximately 70 workers employed by Aberdeen International Airport secured a 4.2 per cent pay deal in a one-year deal after supporting strike action in an industrial action ballot. The workers to benefit from the pay deal include administrative staff, airfield operators, technicians, firefighters, and crew commanders. The airport owners made a profit of £12.1m in 2024.
The union can further confirm another pay dispute involving around 70 workers employed by ICTS at Aberdeen airport has also been resolved after workers voted to back an improved offer. ICTS central search workers who deal with passengers directly in the security search areas and process them for flights at Aberdeen airport backed a two year pay deal. A five per cent increase in basic pay and shift allowances backdated to 1 January with a one-off bank holiday are included in this year's deal. Next year, the workers will receive the RPI inflation rate plus one per cent in basic and shift pay alongside a boost to terms and conditions from 1 January 2027.
Unite, Scotland’s leading aviation union, confirmed today (29 May) that more workers based at Aberdeen airport are being balloted over industrial action in escalating pay disputes. Approximately 70 workers employed by Aberdeen International Airport are being balloted for industrial action in a pay dispute. The ballot is set to close on 10 June.
The workers involved in the ballot include administrative staff, airfield operators, technicians, firefighters and crew commanders. The airport owners made a profit of £12.1m in 2024. An industrial action ballot involving security staff employed by ICTS at Aberdeen airport is also open and will close on 17 June after workers similarly rejected a pay offer.
Strikes by hold baggage screeners at Gatwick airport have been called off after the workers voted to accept an improved pay deal. The workers, employed by ICTS, will receive a seven per cent pay rise back paid to April 2025. In addition to an increase in the hourly rate, Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day will now all be paid at double time, backdated to April 2025.
Gatwick airport baggage screeners will strike over pay in late August, including over the bank holiday, Unite, the UK’s leading union, said today. The workers, employed by ICTS, are amongst the lowest paid workers at the airport earning just above the minimum wage.
