The Greek Air Traffic Controllers’ Association has announced a 48-hour strike in the country’s airports as of Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 of October, arguing against the ministerial decision that gives the Public Debt Management Agency access to airport fees. According to their statement, airport fees (route charges of airlines) are available only for the development and maintenance of airport infrastructure and not “in any case intended for third party financing, such as for public debt”. The Association also announced that it would file a complaint to the European Commission for breach of European Community law, while air traffic controllers will submit to petition to the European Parliament.
