Flight delays due to workers? protest
Protesting government reforms in their sector, air-traffic controllers declared a go-slow day on Thursday, causing a backlog of incoming and outgoing traffic, at Athens International Airport, a day after a 24-hour strike brought air traffic in Greece to a halt.
The air-traffic controllers refused to work any overtime or service unscheduled flights on Thursday, while they did not make it clear whether their action would continue Friday.
The air traffic staff are likely to join another walkout by civil servants’ scheduled for October 19.
