Read our privacy policy Greek air traffic controllers will join a nationwide strike on 28 February, grounding almost all commercial flights in and out of the country. The walkout is part of a general strike demanding justice for the 57 victims of the Tempe train crash, which happened two years ago. In the past, courts have often declared the participation of air traffic controllers in general strikes as illegal. Flights were unaffected by the strikes after a court declared that protest plans by air traffic controllers were illegal.
