AIR traffic controllers are to stage a one-day strike in protest against plans to introduce remote airport control towers at Highlands and Islands Airports (HIAL).
Prospect said the walkout on July 29 will mark an escalation in the industrial action, which has been going on since January.
HIAL is planning to centralise operations in Inverness and introduce remote integrated air traffic control services for Inverness, Dundee, Stornoway, Kirkwall and Sumburgh airports.
