Closer to agreement with flight controllers
18:27
Talks between the flight controllers and the headquarters of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) are underway. Wednesday was another day that did not bring any decisions in the talks, but the messages coming from both the Agency and the controllers' union have given hope for an agreement in the next few days.
Both parties were striving to agree on a common position on Thursday. So it happened. The traffic controllers pledged to return to work. However, consent is temporary. PANSA and trade unionists give each other two months to find a final compromise.
"This is not a peace, but a truce, because the war is still going on. We do not want Poles to suffer from the lack of airplanes. PANSA agreed to carry out a financial audit, which was one of our postulates," Maciej Sosnowski, chairman of the Air Traffic Controllers Trade Union, said
Disagreement with the controllers would be a very serious obstacle. After May 1, Warsaw Chopin and Modlin airports could handle a total of 90 connections a day, which would mean the cancellation of 2/3 of the planned flights. Flights from regional airports should run smoothly.
