Athens Flights to Continue Amid Strike, Travelers Urged to Prepare for Delays


Despite a nationwide general strike set for October 1, 2025, flights to and from Athens International Airport will operate as scheduled after Greek courts ruled the participation of air traffic controllers in the strike illegal.
