Members of Britain's Transport and General Workers Union working for two companies run by Swissport are now set to walk out for 48 hours from Sunday morning.
They work as baggage handlers and check-in staff for 21 airlines including Aer Lingus, El Al, Malaysian and Singapore Airlines.
The union said many of its members have received no pay rise for 18 months.
