Six Scottish airports to close during strike on Thursday

Six regional airports in Scotland are set to close tomorrow during a strike by air traffic controllers.

The workers are in a pay dispute with their employer Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL), which is owned by the Scottish government.

The affected airports are Benbecula, Dundee, Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway and Sumburgh.

HIAL-owned Wick John O’Groats, Barra, Campbeltown, Islay and Tiree airports will remain open.

The controllers have been working to rule since the beginning of April and agreed to suspend a strike planned for April 26 to allow for talks.
