A three-hour strike by Greek air traffic controllers will briefly shut down all the country's airports tomorrow, the controllers' trade union said.
Union president Manolis Antoniadis said the controllers, who are protesting alleged threats to safety, caused by interference from radio stations operating on frequencies close to the ones they use, will strike from 0900 GMT to 1200 GMT
on Saturday.
During that period "no flight will take place at any airport in the country," he said.
In response to the strike threat, National carrier Olympic Airlines said it will cancel 13 domestic flights and delay a total of 36, including 16 international flights.
Flights serving London, Paris, New York and Rome will be among those delayed, the airline said.
The air traffic controllers' union held a series of strikes over the same demands in June last year, but it says the problem of insufficient regulation of the airwaves in Greece has still not been fully resolved.
