Important Update for Travelers to Greece: The air traffic controllers’ strike that was expected to take place tomorrow (Wednesday, October 1) in Greece has been canceled. This decision prevents disruptions in the flight schedule from Israel, with nearly 70 flights from Ben Gurion Airport to destinations in Greece and back expected to operate as planned.
Court Prevents Aviation Sector Strike
According to reports, the court in Greece rejected the request of air traffic controllers to join the general strike in the economy. The implication of this decision is that airports in Greece will continue to operate normally, without disruptions.
What Will Strike? Public Transportation
Alongside the aviation sector, other transportation sectors are expected to strike, including trains, the metro, buses, and ferries. Some services will operate partially, so travelers planning to move within Greece are advised to check schedules in advance and prepare accordingly.
Direct Impact on Travelers from Israel
Since this is the eve of Yom Kippur, a time when dozens of flights from Israel to Greece and vice versa are scheduled, this decision prevents cancellations that could have affected many travelers, especially with the closure of Israeli airspace at 13:50.
