The pay dispute had resulted in industrial action or airport strikes across all eleven locations.
The pay deal ensures a basic salary rise of 7% for those earning up to £44,000, and a 5% increase to shift allowances.
Unite represents security staff, baggage handlers, ground crew, fire and rescue, security and admin workers.
HIAL is a private limited company wholly-owned by the Scottish Government.
