The Federation of Greek Travel Agencies (FEDHATTA) on Wednesday expressed concern over the strike action announced by the Federation οf Associations οf Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (OSYPA) for Sunday May 31 and Monday June 1.

Last week OSYPA announced a 48-hour strike that could cause disruption to those travelling for the Holy Spirit Monday holiday on June 1.
