Airport may be closed by strike

City of Derry Airport
The strike is expected to last two days

City of Derry Airport may be forced to close on 16 and 17 July if workers walk out in a dispute over pay.

Unions representing firefighters, baggage handlers and cleaners were urged by Derry City Council to exempt their members from the UK-wide strike.

Joe Miller, chairman of the Airport Committee said talks are continuing to try to reach a resolution.

"If there's no firefighters, a plane would simply not be allowed to land or take off," he said.
