Mackay Airport Responds To Planned Security Industrial Action

Mackay Airport acknowledges the planned industrial action by Trident security screening officers and the United Workers Union on Friday 27 September.

Richard Barker, CEO of Mackay Airport, stated, “We are aware of ongoing negotiations between the security screening provider and union representatives, however, have not been party to these discussions.

“Trident Services Security are responsible for reaching agreement with the union on the outstanding matters and we are hopeful the parties will reach an outcome without disrupting the travelling public.

“Mackay Airport remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of the travelling public and acknowledge the important role security screening personnel play in keeping our airport safe.

“We encourage travellers to stay informed through our official social media channels and website for any updates related to this action.

“We anticipate there may be delays passing through airport screening between 6am-10am on Friday 27 September and ask passengers to allow additional time for processing during this time.”
