Strike at Budapest airport strands 10,000 travellers
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 05 - 04 - 2007

Around 10,000 people would be stranded in Hungary
until Saturday after a strike by ground services staff forced the
cancellation of over 150 flights from Budapest Airport, a spokesman
said Thursday, according to dpa.
Domokos Szollar said that only flights operated by the Hungarian
airline Malev and budget carrier SkyEurope were expected to be
unaffected by the action, as they have their own ground handling
services.
Szollar had earlier said he did not expect cancellations.
Inforadio.hu reported much "tumult and swearing" at information
desks as travellers who had hoped to travel to London and Dortmund
attempted to change their tickets.
The air workers union LDFSZ said that employees of ground services
firm Celebi would strike from 2.30 p.m. (12:30 GMT) Thursday until
the same time on Saturday.
Celebi staff caused delays last Friday and Saturday during a 24-
hour strike aimed at forcing management to up a pay increase from 4
per cent to 10 per cent.
