- A Civil Aviation Authority notice says air traffic controllers’ participation could be suspended pending a court decision expected imminently.
- Aegean and Olympic Air are offering fee-free rebooking or credit vouchers for customers booked to travel on October 1.
- Jet2 says it plans to operate flights as scheduled while monitoring developments, with other carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet expected to face knock-on effects.
- Transport disruption is forecast across airports, ferries, trains, buses, metros and taxis, raising the risk of both cancellations and difficulty reaching terminals.
