Flight disruption as general strike hits Greece

Airlines flying to Greece face disruption today due to a general strike in the country.


Greek air traffic controllers are among workers taking industrial action between 10 am and 1pm local time.


EasyJet has been forced to re-schedule 14 flights to destinations in Greece, Italy and Turkey but does not expect any cancellations.


“The impact of the strike action is expected to be minimal with no cancellations,” the airline said.


Eurocontrol also warned of a threat of industrial action by French unions on Monday evening and Tuesday although the impact on air traffic control is not yet known.
