Briefing
Air traffic controllers have imposed flight‑handling limits at Athens Airport and their planned participation in the Oct. 1 general strike risks wider cancellations and a near‑total halt to Greek air services.
Past ATC walkouts in Europe have forced large-scale cancellations and network rework; see how a recent two-day French ATC strike grounded hundreds of flights and prompted carriers to scrap services.
ATC and technical outages have previously cascaded across networks, illustrating the systemic risk to schedules and connections (examples include a Dallas TRACON radar and comms failure and NATS radar outages in the UK: https://hype.aero/?story=adc29708-bd3e-4ac6-a50a-40ac095ebf6c).
