Workers at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) are set to go on a two-day strike in a battle over pay for around 130 staff.
The Unite members – a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners – are due to walk out between 16-18 October.
Their wages have fallen behind other airports such as Newcastle in equivalent roles, said the union, which claimed the action would temporarily close the airport.
A spokesperson for the airport said it had made “a fair and responsible” offer that was “significantly” above inflation and “anticipated running near-normal operations” if the strike went ahead.
An LBA spokesperson said: “We respect the right of employees to participate in lawful industrial action.
“However, we are disappointed by this and do not believe strike action is the right way to resolve the issues still under discussion.”
The details of the pay offer were not confirmed by the airport or union.
The spokesperson said: “Our priority now is to minimise disruption for customers, many of whom have worked hard and saved for important holidays, family visits and business travel.
“At this stage we anticipate running near-normal operations during the period.”
