Greece Struggles to Manage Increased Flight Volume
Greece’s air traffic control system is facing significant challenges due to a surge in tourist arrivals, with the number of flights handled by the country’s airports increasing by 40% since 2019. The air traffic controllers are struggling to manage the increased volume, with staffing shortages and outdated infrastructure exacerbating the issue. A €300 million renovation programme is underway to address these issues, but the situation remains a concern for the safety and efficiency of air travel in the region, as reported by Unknown Source.
