Greek air traffic controllers have warned that the country's Flight Information Region (FIR) remains at risk of another major systems failure during peak summer travel unless critical air traffic control infrastructure is replaced, citing equipment as old as 25 to 30 years still in daily operation.

The air traffic safety electronics personnel of the Greek Civil Aviation Authority will hold work stoppages and strikes as of Friday and until September 29 to protest the “assigning of Greece’s national airspace to private interests”, according to a press release on Thursday.
