Scots who plan to fly abroad this Christmas have been warned that travel could be disrupted by Border Force strikes. Industrial action will take place from December 23 to Boxing Day, and then again from December 28 to New Year's Eve.
The PCS union has been in an ongoing pay dispute with government employers, and recently announced that Border Force staff will join 100,000 workers in 214 government departments and other public bodies in strike action. The walkouts will impact Glasgow Airport as well as travel hubs in Wales and England with around 1,000 Border Force staff expected to take part.
Border checks are not carried out for domestic flights, so Scots travelling elsewhere in the UK for Christmas are unlikely to be affected. However, those who are either travelling abroad or returning to the UK from a foreign country could face disruptions.
