Greek strike affects flights

Eight flights will be affected on Thursday because of an air traffic controller strike in Greece.

Greek controllers will stop working between 3pm and 5pm in protest for the Greek government’s decision to close state broadcaster ERT.

The flights — four arrivals and four departures to and from Larnaca airport — have been re-scheduled.

They concern flights to and from Athens and Thessaloniki

Authorities urged passengers to contact their airlines to avoid any inconvenience.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
