48 Hour Greece transport worker strike causes Greece flight disruption are they stupid..

It would seem the adage beware of Greeks bearing debt runs true for holiday flights into the Island, for a country that relies heavily on tourism and in such debt that the figures make you dizzy.. They decide to go on Strike..

The Greek unions, think its a good idea to create travel chaos and cause some flights to be cancelled..

Flights in and out of Greece are subject to cancellation today as protests against planned spending cuts and tax rises continue.

Transport workers joined the 48-hour general strike yesterday, putting a halt to all flights in and out the country at midnight last night. Trains and ferries in Greece are also at a standstill.

British Airways is advising those travelling to Athens today to check the status of the flight before leaving home.

Austerity measures planned in return for a 110bn euro (£95bn) international rescue package for the debt-struck economy have sparked widespread anger.

The Greek parliament is to vote on the measures by the end of the week
