THE second of two 12-hour strikes over pay and pensions has begun at Glasgow and Aberdeen airports.
It comes three days after the first of the strikes led to disruption and security delays for Glasgow Airport users.
The strikes are the result of stalled talks between the AGS Airports group and the Unite union.
Unite members at the two airports began the latest wave of industrial action at 4am and it will continue until 4pm on Monday.

The strike involves airport security officers, airport fire safety, airfield operations officers, and engineering technicians.
AGS, which owns both Glasgow and Aberdeen airports has said "robust contingency plans" would be put in place to try to ensure "business as usual" at both airports.
Unite confirmed a shorter four hour stoppage between 4am and 8am was planned for June 14 while a six hour strike will take place on June 21 from 8.30 am. to 2.30 pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
