Edinburgh Airport Workers Win Major Pay Deal

Four hundred workers at Edinburgh Airport avoided strike action by securing a major pay deal: a 5.5% raise or £1,800, whichever is higher, plus improved shift pay, sickness benefits, and paternity leave this year. Next year, workers get another 4% or the Retail Price Index plus 0.5%, starting January 2027 — covering all roles from ambassadors to engineers. Unite praises the workers’ unity and determination, calling it a landmark win in Scotland’s aviation sector and part of a broader trend across Glasgow and Aberdeen airports. The two-year agreement delivers real gains across base pay and working conditions, proving collective action still delivers tangible results.
