Security staff at Aberdeen Airport have called off planned strike action after accepting an improved pay offer.
Workers employed by ICTS HBS Security voted to accept a revised deal that includes a 6.5% increase in basic hourly pay and improved overtime rates.
The employees had been scheduled to begin 14 days of industrial action across July and August.
Unite suspended the strikes as a gesture of goodwill while members considered the improved offer.
The agreement brings an end to one of several recent pay disputes involving workers at Aberdeen Airport.
ICTS (UK) Limited, the parent company of ICTS HBS Security, reported profits of £7.6 million in 2025, up from £4.4 million the previous year.
Unite has also recently resolved separate pay disputes involving ICTS central search staff and Aberdeen Airport Limited employees.
The union said the agreement delivers an above-inflation pay increase for its members.

Sharon Graham, general secretary of Unite, said: "Unite’s members at ICTS stood firm throughout this dispute.
"The enhanced pay offer was a direct result of our members being prepared to take lengthy strike action.
"It’s another win for Unite boosting jobs, terms and conditions in the aviation industry."
Paula Buchan, Unite industrial officer, said: "The pay deal for ICTS security workers is an inflation beating pay award which we are pleased to have delivered for our members.
"The workers stood firm and refused to back down.
"The dispute is now over and it's the latest pay success for workers based at Aberdeen airport."
