Tanker drivers employed by North Air, who deliver fuel to airlines at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), could go on strike during the upcoming holiday season. 

The announcement was made by Unite, a UK aviation trade union with around 1.2 million members, on December 2, 2024. The union represents workers at North Air, who provide refueling services for domestic and international airlines flying into and out of EDI Airport.  

The union said the pay disagreement relates to a 4.5% pay offer from North Air that was turned down, following years of below-inflation pay rises. Members of Unite have “overwhelmingly” supported strike action to push for a better pay deal from North Air, the union said.
