Greece: Protesters block Athens airport runways
ATHENS, Greece: Protesting workers at Greek carrier Olympic Airlines have blocked both runways at Athens International Airport, briefly disrupting flights.
Airport officials say the demonstration lasted about 10 minutes, forcing planes to circle the airport. Police are reporting no arrests.
Olympic’s employee unions oppose government plans to sell the loss-making airline under a plan that would see most workers transferred to other public sector jobs.
The protest took place Tuesday.
