Bounemouth Airport could be hit by strike action next month.
Almost 80 workers are being balloted on whether to take strike action.
The workers, members of the UK's leading union Unite, include plane fuellers, baggage handlers, security and check-in staff and flight dispatchers.
Any strikes would close the airport due to workers in so many sections of the airport being involved. The action would ground all flights for the period of the stoppage.
A spokesman for Bournemouth Airport said: "We are currently engaged in discussions with Unite and remain hopeful that we can work constructively with them to reach agreement."
