Strike hits Greek flights today (from TravelMole.com)

June 15, 2011

Greek air, sea and rail travel will grind to a halt today as public sector workers stage another walk out in protest at deep government cuts.

Thousands of protestors will throng the streets of Athens to make clear their unhappiness about the austerity package that Greek lawmakers have introduced in a bid to secure European bail out funds for the country’s ailing economy.

This is the third public sector strike staged to protest about the cuts, each one temporarily paralysing the travel and tourism industries in the country.

Easyjet said it expected “significant disruption” to flights to Greece.
