Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
First Bus strike postponed
Strike action planned by contract workers at the First Bus depot in Aberdeen has been postponed while they consider a new pay offer from their employer.
Industrial action at the King Street site was due to take place from 3pm tomorrow to 6am on Saturday, and then again the next Saturday.
More than 100 cleaners, fuellers and “shunters” across First Bus operations in Aberdeen and Glasgow were poised to walk out after previously rejecting a 2% increase.
The Press & Journal says the Unite union had warned buses may be taken off the roads for safety and re-charging reasons.
SNP leader candidates want journalists to have access to hustings
The three candidates running to replace Nicola Sturgeon have backed calls to allow journalists access to hustings.
It came after the SNP said the events to choose its next leader would be held behind closed doors.
The BBC, STV, ITN and Sky joined together to challenge the SNP's decision to prevent media access.
After widespread criticism of the decision, the SNP later said it was "working with media outlets" which had asked to view proceedings.
Nine events are planned over the coming weeks for party members to hear from Ash Regan, Kate Forbes and Humza Yousaf.
The party initially said these will be a media-free "safe space" for members to ask questions of the candidates.
But the move was criticised by opposition parties and the Society of Editors, which called the decision "outrageous" given the contest will also decide the next first minister.
The BBC says the ballot of SNP members, which will use a single transferrable vote system, opens on March 13 and the winner will be announced on March 27.
Aberdeen oil boom also had downsides
High house prices and the decline of traditional industries like fishing are just two of the downsides North Sea oil and gas brought to Aberdeen, researchers have claimed.
The Aberdeen University report, in collaboration with environmental campaign group Uplift, outlines that following the north-east’s commitment to oil and gas, the city saw a decline in traditional industries, increased pressure on housing and local authorities and growing inequality, among other issues.
The Press & Journal says the study explains that the population of Aberdeen was in decline before the oil and how high-paying jobs came to the city as oil and gas firms moved in, which not only benefited the people working in the industry but the local economy as well.
No seabird collisions at Aberdeen wind farm
There were zero seabird collisions with turbines during two years of monitoring Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm, a £2.6million research project has found.
Swedish renewable energy giant Vattenfall, which operates the wind farm, said there were not even any narrow escapes.
Energy Voice says avoidance behaviour among different seabird species varies from just 33ft to nearly 500ft from wind turbine rotor blades, the study found.
Hospital waiting lists rise again
The number of patients on hospital waiting lists in Scotland has risen again to almost 625,000, the latest statistics show.
The figure of those waiting for an outpatient appointment or for a planned operation, like a hip replacement or cataract removal, is almost double the average before the Covid pandemic.
The BBC says the number on hospital waiting lists is equivalent to one in nine of the Scottish population.
abrdn disposal raises £140million
Scottish asset manager abrdn has agreed to sell its discretionary fund management arm to a Liechtenstein-based private bank for £140million.
The sale of abrdn Capital to LGT is expected to complete in the second half of 2023.
The BBC says the deal will involve the transfer of about £6.1billion in assets under management, and about 140 employees.
Edinburgh-based abrdn was formed following the 2017 merger of Aberdeen Asset Management and Standard Life.
Call to raise public-sector pay
The UK Government needs to "get real" and raise public-sector pay to end strikes, a Conservative peer has said.
Lord Balfe, who advised David Cameron's government in a dispute over pensions and austerity measures, said union members were "not militants".
Instead, they are "wealth creators" with a valid claim about pay not keeping up with the rising cost of living.
Lord Balfe, who is also a former Labour MEP, told the BBC that the government needed to raise pay in the current financial year as well as the next.
New Tesla factory
Tesla is planning to build a new factory in Mexico, joining other carmakers bulking up their presence south of the US border.
Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the plant for the electric car firm would be in Monterrey.
The BBC says Mexico is trying to position itself as a winner as tensions between the US and China disrupt traditional supply chains.
Unhappy customer wins court case against BA
A woman who represented herself in court using 80-year-old contract legislation has beaten British Airways in a row over flight vouchers.
In January 2020, Jennie Barber booked two return flights to Japan departing that May, but the flights were later pulled due to Covid restrictions.
BA offered a refund in the form of travel vouchers, but Ms Barber wanted her money back. The airline refused.
Representing herself, Ms Barber took BA to court and won a full refund.
"If you're an ordinary person, who is not a legal professional, going up against someone like British Airways is scary - and it is intimidating," she told the BBC.
However, Ms Barber, who studied A-level law, was able to beat the airline giant in court using the Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943.
Most-valuable house in UK for sale
Britain’s most-valuable house has been put on the market with a price tag of more than £300million after reportedly falling into receivership.
The Telegraph says The Holme, which overlooks Regent's Park in London, is expected to attract a parade of wealthy potential buyers from around the world.
It has been owned by the Saudi royal family since 2015, but is now said to be in the control of receivers following the lapse of a loan.
