European air traffic strike called off

Tuesday, 07 Oct, 2013 0

The air traffic controllers’ strike planned for Thursday has been called off.

Airlines across Europe were gearing up for major disruption this week after union ATCEUC, representing 14,000 air traffic controllers in Europe, announced plans to strike on October 10, see previous story.

They were protesting against plans to streamline European air traffic control, which they say will threaten flight safety.

But the industrial action has been called off after the European Commission signalled its willingness to renegotiate plans to liberalise civil airspace.

However ATCEUC said in a statement that it would renew its plans for industrial action if talks failed to address its concerns.

"ATCEUC will not be satisfied just with signs of good will and nice words. We expect clear outcomes and results," it said.
