Lifeline planes grounded as Scots air traffic workers "forced" to strike over cuts today
AIR traffic control staff have been "forced" to take strike action today (Thursday) which will lead to the grounding of lifeline services in a dispute over cuts.
The Prospect union has said its members had no other choice but to go through with the stoppage which Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) has confirmed will result in six airports closing.
Loganair has confirmed that it will be unable to provide flights at airports operated by HIAL during the strike.
HIAL has said that as a result of strike action by air traffic controllers, Benbecula, Dundee, Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway and Sumburgh airports will be closed to all but emergency flights on Thursday for 24 hours.
