Greek air traffic controllers strike

Greek airports are expected to be closed tomorrow (10 November) as air traffic controllers launch a 24-hour strike.

The country's air traffic controllers are reportedly joining the actions of other public sector unions demanding higher wages and protesting the tight incomes policy of the Greek government. The strike will also include teachers and doctors in addition to civil servants, Reuters reported.

The air traffic controllers will go on strike immediately after midnight tonight (9 November) and the strike will last 24 hours. Olympic Airlines, the Greek state-owned airline, has said that it will ground all its 107 domestic and international flights, while the privately-held Aegean Airlines will cancel 120 flights.
