CABIN crew at a Glasgow-based airline have been given an "inflation busting" pay rise. 

Unite, Scotland's leading aviation union, has negotiated the pay deal for Loganair workers across the UK they confirmed today (November 12) which lifts the overall pay package by 26.7%. 

More than 120 staff will benefit from the 18 month deal, running from September 2024 to April 2026, which covers cabin crew servicing flights from across the UK and Ireland, including Glasgow.

The pay deal amounts to an average basic pay increase of 23% which rises to 26.7% when other pay benefits and allowances are included. 

Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, said: "Unite has delivered a substantial pay win for Loganair cabin crew workers across the UK and Ireland.

"It’s further evidence that we are securing better pay packages for workers throughout the aviation industry.

"The message to all airport workers is clear, if you want better jobs, pay and conditions - join Unite."

The highest pay rise will be for Loganair cabin crew trainers who are set for a substantial increase of around £8300, or 29.3% based on basic hourly rates.
