Beginning on Saturday, October 4, the Greek Air Traffic Controllers’ Association has scheduled a 48-hour strike of the country’s airports.
According to a press release, the Association decided to protest against a ministerial decision that gives the Public Debt Management Agency access to airport fees.
The Greek air traffic controllers said that airport fees – revenue made by charging airlines to fly particular routes – are available only for the development and maintenance of airport infrastructure. They are not “in any case intended for third party financing, such as for public debt.”
The association said that it would file a complaint to the European Commission for breach of European Community law.
The air traffic controllers will also submit a petition to the European Parliament.
