North Air fuel tanker drivers at Edinburgh Airport will strike over the Christmas season in a pay row which could affect flights.
Tanker drivers from the plane-fuelling company at the airport will strike for 19 days from 5am on December 18 to 4.59am on January 6 , Unite the Union announced.
Unite had warned of strikes over the festive period if North Air failed to provide an improved pay deal, after an offer of a 4.5% rise was rejected.
The union said its members "overwhelmingly backed strike action in a drive to secure a better pay offer from North Air".
A North Air spokesperson said the company is "disappointed" with the strike plan but open to further pay talks and is working to "minimise the impact of any strike action over the festive period".
