The walkout later this month will affect six airports – Inverness, Sumburgh, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Benbecula and Dundee. The Prospect union said the strike was an escalation in its industrial action, which dates back to January, over plans to "centralise air traffic control in Inverness".
Prospect members working for HIAL voted for action at the end of last year, with Prospect accusing HIAL of "removing high-value skilled jobs from economies that can ill-afford to lose them".
