Crete: Heraklion Airport Closed as Farmers Storm the Runway

Farmers and livestock breeders managed to break through the police cordon

Newsroom December 8 02:52

At Heraklion Airport, the protests by farmers and livestock breeders continue.

Several of them managed to break the police line and reached the point of “storming” the runway of the “Nikos Kazantzakis” airport.

As expected, shortly afterward, it was decided to suspend airport operations until further notice.
