Egyptian air traffic controllers end go-slow action

Airline Industry Information, May 30, 2005

A go-slow action staged by Egyptian air traffic controllers has ended.

The action was terminated on Saturday (28 May) after the country's aviation minister promised to look into demands for more pay and better working conditions, according to an airport official.

The Egyptian authorities have reportedly considered the go-slow action, which was launched at the start of May, to be illegal. The action delayed air traffic to and from the country. The air traffic controllers have said that the action was in line with the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
