Planned strike action by Loganair cabin crew has been called off after workers accepted a new pay deal.
The two-year agreement, negotiated with the union Unite, will give cabin crew a total pay rise of 16%. An 8% increase will be backdated to 1 April 2026, followed by a further 8% from 1 April 2027.
'Certainty' for staff and airline
Loganair chief executive Luke Farajallah said he was delighted that cabin crew had voted to accept the agreement. He said it provided certainty for staff and for the airline over the next two years, and reflected Loganair's commitment to investing in its people and its long-term future.
Relief for passengers
Cabin crew had backed strike action in a ballot, raising the prospect of disruption at Glasgow Airport and other airports served by the Scottish airline, which operates many lifeline routes to the Highlands and Islands.
The deal means passengers will not face strike-related cancellations. Loganair flights were, however, disrupted this week by the storms that have hit Scotland, with some services cancelled during the latest yellow wind warning.
