Greece flights hit

ATHENS: Flights in Greece were at a standstill on Thursday after air traffic controllers called a 24-hour strike over pension reforms sought by the country’s creditors. The strike, due to end at 2059 GMT, halted all flights into and out of the country, Athens airport said. “Nothing is moving today,” its press office said. The strike is also being followed in government offices, schools and hospitals, in a protest organised by the civil service union Adedy. Unionised Greek journalists also stopped work, affecting news channels and websites.
