Security staff at Aberdeen Airport have announced 14 days of strike action in a row over pay.
The union said it was left with no option as negotiations with ICTS HBS Security, through the conciliation service Acas, failed to produce a breakthrough.
The strikes, involving baggage screening staff, are set to begin on Monday.
The Unite union is warning of significant delays if the strikes go ahead and is urging the company to return to the negotiating table.
Aberdeen Airport said “robust contingency measures” would be in place and no impact was expected.
ICTS said proposed action involved a “small number” of its staff and it was still in active pay discussions with their union.
The development comes after summer strikes at Glasgow and Edinburgh airports were averted after new deals were struck.
Unite members unanimously supported industrial action at Aberdeen.
Union officials said there would be significant delays as its members in ICTS make up the majority of the baggage screening team at the airport.
