Air travel authorities in Poland are warning travelers of possible flight delays and cancellations at Warsaw's airport due to a protest and some flight controllers quitting their jobs.
FILE - The now-destroyed world's largest cargo plane, the Soviet-made Antonov An-225 Mriya that belonged to Ukraine, lands at the Frederic Chopin airport, in Warsaw, Poland, April 14, 2020. Poland's air travel authorities are warning travelers of possible flight delays and cancellations at Warsaw's airport due to a protest and some flight controllers quitting their jobs. Mriya was destroyed during Russian shelling of an airport near Kyiv in February.
The protest is in reaction to changes made in January to the functioning of the flight regulatory body, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency, as well as to allegations that it was not properly ensuring airspace security. The controllers have also criticized the new salary system, although it allows those most experienced to earn up to 45,000 zlotys a month.
On Saturday, a number of arrivals and departures were delayed by an average of 30 minutes at the airport. A spokeswoman for the airport, Anna Dermont, said the situation was the result of shortages in the control tower's staff.
