Planned industrial action by security staff at Aberdeen Airport due to start on Monday has seemingly been averted.
Strikes by security staff at Aberdeen Airport are believed to have been averted, after an agreement was reached on pay.
Unite had earlier announced 14 days of industrial action among staff working for ICTS at the airport, warning there would be disruption at the airport as a result.
The union said it was left with no option as negotiations through the conciliation service Acas failed to produce a breakthrough.
The strikes were due to begin on Monday, July 6, but on Friday evening, ICTS said a deal had been reached.
A spokesman said: “We’re pleased to confirm that an agreement with our colleagues working within hold baggage screening at Aberdeen airport has been reached.
“We have been informed that the proposed industrial action will now not take place.”
A spokesperson for Aberdeen International Airport said earlier: “We have engaged with ICTS, and robust contingency measures will be in place, with no impact expected, but we strongly urge everyone involved to continue working towards a constructive resolution.”
Unite has been approached for comment.
