Work to rule arrangements are expected to be lifted while union members consider a new offer from Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd.

Inglis Lyon, managing director of Hial which operates several Highland airports including Inverness, said: "We are pleased to advise that our talks to resolve the current air traffic control dispute have progressed and Prospect will put our revised offer to their membership.

Following a further meeting this week to finalise the detail, Prospect will recommend the offer to their members.

"Prospect has confirmed it will lift the work to rule during the period whilst the offer is under consideration, which we welcome.

"The work to rule will cease at 5pm today and a full service will be available to cover out of hours service provision."

A statement from Prospect confirmed the arrangement, adding there will be further talks this week to conclude a number of details, with a ballot of members shortly afterwards.
