The move will turn the screws on families desperate for a hard-earned break after weeks of misery and chaos at airports across the country.

A whopping 95 per cent of those polled today were in favour of taking action, with workers set to down tools as early as July 8.

Around 700 members of staff are now expected to walk out, joining strikers working for Ryanair and easyJet.

It comes as GMB seeks to reverse a 10 per cent pay cut on workers imposed during the pandemic.
