Update on industrial action by Unite members

Bournemouth Airport has put in place contingency plans to minimise any impact from planned strike action by Unite members on 30 September and 1 October.

Passengers due to travel on these dates are advised that the airport expects to operate a full schedule as normal. Customers should check in as usual.

Further strikes are currently proposed for 16 and 17 October, and we are preparing similar contingency measures.

We remain open to constructive dialogue with Unite, but we are disappointed that strike action is being pursued despite our previous offer which met Unite’s demands and was recommended by the union to its members.
