Civil Aviation Workers to Hold Five-day Strike Next Week

Disruptions are expected in Greece’s regional airports next week as the Federation οf Associations οf Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (OSYPA) has announced that its members will hold a five-day strike from Monday to Friday.

The unions are striking in protest of the government voting in favor of the prior actions requested by Greece’s international creditors that include the recent ratification of contracts for the concession of 14 regional airports to Fraport and the reorganization of the Civil Aviation Authority.

The OSYPA federation, which does not include air-traffic controllers, said the strike will run from 00.01 (local time) on Monday, June 20, until 23.59 (local) on Friday, June 24.
