For the sixth consecutive day, flight delays continue at Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos,” with the problem affecting arrivals more significantly than departures.

According to public broadcaster ERT, delays are reaching up to two hours, with no sign yet of the situation stabilizing. Passengers are advised to check with their airline for any changes to their flight schedule before heading to the airport.

Sources report that air traffic controllers are insisting on allowing only 28 safe flights per hour, instead of the usual 36.
