Airlines on Saturday announced the cancellation of hundreds of flights in and out of Greece ahead of a series of one-day strikes by the country's air traffic controllers.

 

Aegean, the country's largest airline, and its subsidiary Olympic Air cancelled all of their flights in or out of the country for tomorrow, when the walkout is set to begin.

 

Irish budget airline Ryanair has grounded 110 flights scheduled for today and tomorrow, calling on the European Commission to take action "to prevent these repeated ATC strikes from continuously disrupting the travel plans of millions of Europe's citizens and their families".
