Threat of industrial action over as Loganair cabin crew accept revised pay offer

LOGANAIR cabin crew represented by the Unite union have accepted a two-year pay agreement to end the threat of industrial action.

The agreement provides an eight per cent increase in basic pay backdated to 1 April 2026, followed by the same increase again from 1 April 2027.

Loganair said that, with additional commitments on scheduling and colleague wellbeing, the package combines financial improvements with a focus on the day-to-day working lives of cabin crew.

It comes after Unite members working for Loganair were said to have sent an “overwhelming mandate” for strike action.

However, talks continued with a new pay offer being put to workers for consideration – with staff said to have voted by an “overwhelmingly majority” to accept.

Loganair CEO Luke Farajallah said: “I am delighted that our cabin crew colleagues, represented by Unite, have voted to accept this two-year pay agreement.

“It provides certainty for our colleagues and for Loganair over the next two years and reflects our commitment to investing in our people and the long-term sustainability of the airline.

“I would like to thank our cabin crew colleagues and Unite representatives for their engagement throughout this process.

“This is a positive outcome that underlines the importance of open dialogue and working together.

“To our cabin crew colleagues, thank you for your continued commitment to Loganair and our customers. I am delighted we can take this positive step forward together.”

Unite previously said staff it represents are based at the Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Isle of Man and Southampton airports.
