Aegean Airlines has announced that passengers scheduled to travel on Thursday, August 28, will be able to change their tickets free of charge due to a planned work stoppage by air traffic controllers.
The four-hour stoppage, from 9.30am to 1.30 pm, has been called by the Greek Air Traffic Controllers Association as part of a nationwide strike organised by the civil servants’ union ADEDY, which is opposing a new disciplinary law bill set to be debated in Parliament.
Aegean confirmed that passengers may reschedule their flights for travel until 30 September 2025 without reissuing fees or fare differences, or alternatively cancel their booking and receive a credit voucher for future use.
“As of today, there is an option for those who wish so, either to go ahead and change their tickets… or to cancel their reservation and receive a credit voucher for future use,” the airline said.
The carrier added that the stoppage could still be blocked by a court ruling but emphasised that until such a decision is issued, its flight schedule remains unchanged.
During the work stoppage, only overflights of the Athens FIR, government flights, Hellenic Air Force missions, and emergency or humanitarian flights will be permitted.
Passengers can process changes online via the Aegean and Olympic Air websites, through the Aegean App, or by calling customer service numbers.
