Civil aviation workers to strike on Thursday - Flights cancelled

Civil aviation workers union OSYPA announced a strike for Thursday to protest the government’s draft bill which includes measures to restructure the Civil Aviation Authority.

The strike will start at 10:00 and end at midnight on Friday. "The reason for the strike is the submission to parliament...of the draft bill on restructuring CAA, whose content not only we’re not aware of, but no consultation has been held on it", the union said.

Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air who run joint route codes announced they are cancelling 70 inbound and outbound flights from Greek airports. The union is currently meeting with Infrastructure Minister Christos Spirtzis to try and reach a solution.

The bill is expected to be tabled to parliament in the coming days.
