Scots travellers warned as major UK airport set for severe delays this month
The exact dates when the disruption is set to hit has been revealed TRAVEL CHAOS Scots travellers warned as major UK airport set for severe delays this month Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN URGENT warning has been issued to Scottish holidaygoers as a UK airport is set to be hit with severe delays this month. With autumn fast approaching, families across the country will be trying to squeeze in a last-minute summer holiday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Passengers have been warned to brace for disruption at a UK airport in the coming weeks Credit: Alamy But travellers have been warned that they could face major disruption if they are flying to or from a major UK airport. Gatwick Airport is bracing for severe delays in the coming weeks, with baggage screeners set to strike over pay. Staff will walk out at two different times this month, according to the UK's leading union, Unite. Union chiefs revealed that the first strike action will take place from August 22 until August 26, while the second is set from August 29 to September 2. And Unite has warned that the industrial action could worsen into autumn if the pay dispute is not resolved. All flights out of Gatwick Airport are expected to face disruption during the dates of the strike action. ICTS has more than enough money to offer these workers a fair pay rise. Not doing so is just corporate greed Sharon Graham Which means any Scottish holidaygoers who are flying to or from the airport, or catching a connecting flight, will be impacted. As it stands, there are four airports in Scotland that fly directly to Glatwock Airport with easyJet. These are: Glasgow Airport Edinburgh Airport Aberdeen Airport Inverness Airport Moment passenger bundled screaming onto airport bus after punching stewardess However, only passengers who are checking in luggage will be impacted by the strikes. This is because ICTS staff are those responsible for screening luggage for the hold of planes. Despite this, anyone travelling over the strike dates has still been urged to prepare for huge delays. International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS) staff earn just above minimum wage - making them among the lowest-paid workers at the airport. Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary, said: "ICTS has more than enough money to offer these workers a fair pay rise. "Not doing so is just corporate greed. "ICTS' Gatwick workers will receive Unite's complete backing for as long as it takes during their strikes for fair pay." Unite regional officer Ben Davis added: "ICTS is entirely responsible for the disruption that will be caused to Gatwick passengers during the strike action. RUNWAY BOOST THE announcement about the airport disruption comes after bosses at Gatwick Airport revealed details of plans to bring in a new runway. The runway could bring in a massive £275 million-a-year tourism boost. And plans could see 60,000 more flights taking off annually, including a range of new long-haul routes. London Gatwick's Northern Runway could help raise £275 million a year for the Sussex visitor economy if plans for its routine use are approved. It could also allow for an additional 1.6 million high-value international tourists a year by 2038. The plans are in an effort to attract tourists who stay longer and spend more money, the airport said. 'The Northern Runway is about more than just increasing capacity," said Richard Lennard, economic partnerships manager at London Gatwick and a member of the Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) advisory board. 'It's about connecting the UK to the fastest-growing regions of the world and ensuring Sussex can share in the benefits of that global reach. 'By unlocking an additional 1.6 million international inbound passengers a year by 2038, we're not just meeting growing demand, we're bringing new opportunities directly into our region with tourism being a catalyst of economic growth.' "It can well afford to put forward an acceptable pay offer and that is what needs to happen. "Despite performing a critical role, these workers are amongst the lowest paid at the airport. "Gatwick should be stepping in and pressuring ICTS to put an improved offer forward." A London Gatwick spokesperson told The Sun Travel: "We are working with our suppliers to avoid any impacts. "We expect to operate a normal summer holiday flight schedule for our airlines and passengers on these dates. "Of course, we hope ICTS and their union can reach a resolution before then."

Unexpected UK city to charge £4.90 MORE per night in ‘tourist tax' that's higher than Barcelona or Venice
They're not the first UK city to introduce the tax either TAXING TIMES Unexpected UK city to charge £4.90 MORE per night in 'tourist tax' that's higher than Barcelona or Venice Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VISITORS to an unexpected UK city are set to be hit with a new tourist tax that's more expensive than Barcelona or Venice. If you plan to visit the city and stay overnight, you could be charged an extra £4.90 per night under the new measures. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Visitors to Aberdeen are set to be hit by a new tourist tax Credit: Getty 2 Aberdeen is set to introduce the new tax in July 2027 that will charge £4.90 per night Credit: Getty The new 7 per cent tax on overnight stays will be introduced by Aberdeen City Council in July 2027. At an average room rate of £70 per night, visitors will have to stump up an extra £4.90 per night. Any non-resident staying overnight in Aberdeen will have to pay the fee which is expected to bring an extra £6.8 million a year into the city. This money will then be reinvested in the city's tourism sector. Stephen Gow, chair of VisitAberdeenshire, said the city received over 2.2 million overnight visitors last year which generated £500 million. He called the new measures a "well managed scheme" that will "drive continued growth of Aberdeen's visitor economy". He added: 'The headroom for growth in the leisure and conference sectors will be fulfilled through effective investment in promotion, events, and development of the tourism sector." Who will it apply to? The tax will apply to hotels, B&Bs, self-catering accommodation, campsites and caravan parks. For specific events like arts festivals or major conferences, councils will be permitted to adjust the 7 per cent figure. But the type of accommodation subject to the tax won't be able to change. Mini tourist train crashes in Brit holiday hotspot with carriage overturned injuring 20 with four in critical condition There are exemptions, however, which include motorhomes and people receiving disability payments. Aberdeen City Council's finance and resources convener, Alex McLellan, said: "The income generated from the visitor levy, paid by those visiting the city, will provide a huge boost to our local economy and allow us to invest in bringing major events and conferences here on a more regular basis." The tax will also support large-scale events, productions and festivals through a special fund. Other tourist taxes Aberdeen is not the first Scottish city to introduce such measures but the 7 per cent rate is the highest so far. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow introduced a 5 per cent levy earlier this year which are due to come into effect in June 2026 and January 2027 respectively. McLellan added that tourists are paying similar amounts per night across Europe. "We should do the same to ensure we can compete in terms of attracting both business and leisure tourism to Aberdeen," he said. The new levies come after the Scottish Parliament introduced legislation to impose a levy on overnight accommodation. There isn't an equivalent law in England but Liverpool and Manchester, for example, have already found alternative ways to raise money in the same fashion. The new charges come as another popular UK destination imposed a tourist tax last month. Holidaymakers who take a trip to Wales will be thumped with an extra £1.30 per night after proposals were given the nod.

JD Vance accused of 'lying about Scotland' as US Vice President set for stay at luxury Ayrshire estate
Vance and his family are on a private holiday to the UK and are expected to arrive in Scotland on Wednesday. JD Vance has been accused of "lying about Scotland" as the US Vice President prepares to arrive for a private holiday in Ayrshire. The Republican is expected to land at Prestwick airport on Wednesday before transferring to the nearby Carnell Estates at Hurlford, which is known for offering its guests high-end shooting and fishing excursions. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stayed at Carnell House, which dates from the 14th century, while filming World War Z in Glasgow in 2013. Vance and his family were in Kent last week, where they stayed at Chevening House, the official residence of the foreign secretary, before spending time in the Cotswolds. But his previous comments made about buffer zones outside abortion clinics in Scotland have not been forgotten by some Scots politicians. Green MSP Gillian Mackay told the Record: "JD Vance has made a career of spreading misinformation and sowing mistrust in order to gain power and influence. The Vice President's absurd lies haven't just been about eating cats and dogs in Ohio - he has lied about Scotland." The Republican politician was previously branded an "eejit" by Mackay following his claims over buffer zones around abortion clinics. Vance used a major speech in Munich in February to wrongly suggest Scots could face prosecution for praying in their own homes. The Vice President attacked what he viewed as an erosion of free speech across Europe. And he pointed to the recent introduction of buffer zones around Scottish abortion clinics as an example of the kind of crackdown he feared. The law, passed by a majority of MSPs at the Scottish Parliament last year, prevents any public protests or vigils from taking place within 200m (656ft) of 30 clinics around the country. But it does not prohibit anyone from praying within their own homes - a false claim repeatedly amplified by some social media accounts in recent months. Mackay continued: 'Earlier this year, JD Vance made false claims on an international stage about Scotland's buffer zones law, which prevents harassment and intimidation of patients outside abortion clinics, a bill proudly passed by the Scottish Greens. "Now, while his extremist government is attacking LGBTQ+ and women's rights, illegally arresting innocent civilians on the streets, arming Israel's genocide in Gaza and wrecking our climate, he thinks that he can peacefully run away from it all to enjoy a holiday in our country. "Let's set this clear - the toxic misinformation of JD Vance is a threat to democracy and freedom around the world." Vance said at his speech in February: Vance said: "This last October, the Scottish Government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called 'safe access zones', warning them that even private prayer, within their own home may amount to breaking the law. "Naturally, the Government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain, and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat."
