Problems with delays in arrivals and departures of scheduled flights continue at Greece's airports' due to the "white strike" of air traffic controllers who are strictly observing Greece's air-space capacity.

n the meantime, the Civil Aviation Service has recalled all summer holiday leaves, believing that the situation will return to normal in the next two days.

Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Network Dimitris Reppas presented the new draft-bill on reforms in Civil Aviation Service (CAS) at noon on Monday. There will be public deliberations before the draft-bill takes its final form and be tabled to the Parliament.

Five to 60 minute delays in 78 flights, mainly departures from E. Venizelos Airport, were recorded from Sunday midnight till 13.30 on Monday. Today, 325 flights are scheduled to depart from E. Venizelos Airport.

No specific problems have been reported at the Macedonia Airport in Thessaloniki.

Air traffic controllers white strike has had an impact in a total of 400 flights, 198 departures and 202 arrivals from Larnaca and Pafos airports to several European destinations including Greece.

Air traffic controllers demand an independent service so they can themselves manage the fees paid by airway companies and from which their entitlements are paid.

In an interview with a television channel this morning, the president of the Air Traffic Controllers Union said mobilizations would continue unless the ministry finds a compromise formula.
