UPDATE: Although air traffic controllers had announced participation in Wednesday’s strike, the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) announced that the strike was ruled illegal by a Greek court and that all flights will take place as scheduled in Greek airports.

Airline flights and ferry services in Greece will be disrupted on Wednesday, April 6, due to a 24-hour nationwide strike called by Greece’s largest civil service umbrella union ADEDY and the country’s main private sector union GSEE.

Both the Greek Air Traffic Controllers’ Association and the Pan-Hellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) will participate in the general strike.

In an announcement, PNO said that seamen are calling on the government to take action against uninsured labor and establish a permanent system of financial support and protection for the unemployed.

Those who have booked tickets for travel on April 6 are advised to check with their travel agents or contact local port authorities and airports for further information.

With regard to public transportation, workers of OASA buses will hold a work stoppage on April 6. Buses will operate only between 9am – 9pm. All other means of public transportation will not be running for 24 hours.

The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) announced that flights will take place normally on Wednesday. However, we do advise that you contact the airline. https://news.gtp.gr/2022/04/05/greece-24-hour-strike-wednesday-disrupt-public-transport-athens/
