Greek flights will be grounded this week for one day as air traffic controllers walk out for one day to join a general strike over labour reforms and the government's economic policies, Reuters reported.
Greeks fear the nationwide strike could cause further unrest as rioting continued for a third day across Greece, triggered by the fatal shooting of a teenager by police at the weekend and fuelled by economic hardship.
Dozens of people have been injured and scores of businesses destroyed in Athens and Thessaloniki during the riots, which have piled pressure on the conservative government.
State-owned Olympic Airlines, which is being privatised, and its rival Aegean Airlines, said they would cancel all foreign and domestic flights on Wednesday.
