Airport strike action suspended after new pay offer

Planned strikes at airports in the Highlands and islands have been suspended so union members can consider a new pay offer.

Airport fire and security staff in the Prospect union at Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (Hial) had been due to walk out on Monday, March 13 and Friday, March 17, in a dispute over pay.
