Poland’s simmering industrial dispute over working conditions for air traffic control staff threatens to disrupt more than 600 flights a day if a deal can’t be reached, Europe’s airspace-management body warned Friday.
Capacity for services to Warsaw could be cut to just 170 a day if the situation worsens, leaving around 340 at risk of cancellation, while 300 of 700 daily overflights via Polish skies would need to be rerouted, Eurocontrol said Friday.
