Passengers using five major airlines are set to face the threat of disruption for at least three days from 18 November as 700 contractors, including ground handlers, prepare to walk out in pay disputes.
Hundreds of workers at Heathrow will walk out in the run-up to the World Cup finals this month over demands for better pay.
"It will lead to disruption, cancellations and delays at Heathrow terminals 2, 3 and 4", the union said in its statement. It added that other airlines to be"hit heavily" would include Virgin Atlantic, Singapore Airlines, Cathay-Pacific and Emirates.
