Loganair reaches deal with cabin crew to end strike threat

Cabin crew overwhelmingly backed the enhanced pay offer from the airline, which includes an 8% rise in basic pay.
UK regional carrier Loganair has averted industrial action after cabin crew accepted a two-year pay deal.

80 employees based at eight UK airports and represented by the Unite union voted to accept the offer.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham stressed the pay deal only came about because “our members were prepared to take strike action, if necessary, to get what they deserved”.

Loganair will backdate the deal to April 2026, giving cabin crew an 8% basic pay rise and another of the same size in April 2027. The deal also includes equivalent raises for allowances and standby rates, as well as a one-off £500 ($650) payment. Total take-home pay will rise by 22% by the end of the agreement in April 2028.

The deal will also see changes to scheduling and wellbeing to improve everyday working conditions, Loganair says.

Unite members approved the potential strike action following a breakdown in pay negotiations in early October 2026, after Loganair decided to terminate all operations from Dundee airport, leaving cabin crew facing job insecurity.

More than 98% of Loganair cabin crew in the ballot backed strike action.

Loganair chief executive Luke Farajallah says he is delighted that cabin crew have accepted the pay agreement, adding that “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”.
