International airport serving Aberdeen, Scotland
Unite has organised 14 days of strikes by ICTS security staff at Aberdeen Airport starting 6 July, after talks through Acas failed to yield an offer. The action is expected to cause significant delays during the peak holiday period.
A technical fault in the UK air traffic control provider NATS has caused widespread cancellations and delays at major airports on 8–9 September 2026, disrupting hundreds of thousands of passengers. NATS has fixed the flight processing error and apologised; Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has ordered an independent review and given CEO Martin Rolfe a week to report. Airlines and passengers are still clearing a backlog.
