AIR traffic control staff are to go on strike at Norwich airport on Friday after Prospect members “comprehensively” rejected its latest offer to resolve a pay and conditions row.

The union said that talks held on Wednesday resulted in an offer that “still fell well short of demands, making it impossible for a shift in its position.”

Airport closures have been “occurring regularly” due to “chronic” understaffing, which is a “direct result of the poor pay and conditions relative to the national norm,” added Prospect.
