FLIGHTS GROUNDED- OA staff protesting sell-off to force cancellations today
Passengers planning to travel on domestic or international flights today will face disruptions as Olympic Airlines staff stage a 24-hour strike, protesting at the privatization of the ailing national carrier. At least 96 domestic flights are expected to be canceled and many others delayed. Passengers should telephone OA on 210.966.6666 for details about rescheduled flights. Protesters have threatened to stage a series of four rolling 24-hour strikes after Easter, which falls on April 19, unless the Transport Ministry satisfies their salary and pension demands.
