Staff at six airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick, will stage walkouts from 23 December to Boxing Day and from 28 December to New Year's Eve.

Strikes by Border Force staff are planned to take place at Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Glasgow airports.

A spokesman for Airlines UK, which represents the industry, said: "We urge all parties to work on reaching an agreement to avoid the need for industrial action at what is such an important time of year for many travellers." Jet2 said: "We would like to let our customers and industry partners know that we very much intend to operate our full schedule of flights throughout the festive period, including on the dates when strike action is taking place."

Heathrow Airport said its "priority is to ensure passengers get through the border safely and as quickly as possible".
