A strike planned at Aberdeen International Airport has now officially been averted after union bosses and airport chiefs agreed on a new improved annual pay offer.

The strike which was to start next week with further disruptions taking place throughout June and July has now been called off by Unite

The planned strike action involving over 30 airport staff would have severely disrupted the offshore heliport impacting all offshore flights and causing delays and cancellations with flights to and from the North Sea installations for all operators.

Unites industrial officer, John Boland has said that he will advise trade union members to accept the new pay offer presented by Aberdeen Airport chiefs, when the union members vote on the issue in upcoming weeks.

The industrial action would have involved firefighters, security officers and other airport staff staging day-long walk outs as well as shorter 2 hour stoppages to daily work rotas
