The union said airlines affected will include Qatar Airways which has scheduled extra flights during the World Cup.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “Our members at Dnata and Menzies undertake highly challenging roles and are simply seeking a decent pay rise.
“Both companies are highly profitable and can fully afford to make a fair pay increase.
“The workers at Heathrow will have Unite’s complete support during this dispute.”
Unite said pay offers from the two companies range from 2% to 6%.
