Athens Airport Taxi Drivers to Strike Over Uber Stand

08:06 15/5/2025 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

Travelers arriving at Athens International Airport on Thursday will face transportation disruptions as taxi drivers have announced a three-hour strike from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The Attica Taxi

Drivers Union (SATA) is protesting a recent decision to permit an Uber stand to operate next to the existing taxi station, which SATA has denounced as “illegal.”

“Our positions are clear and non-negotiable.

We will not surrender transportation work that rightfully belongs to taxi drivers, nor will we compromise our professional status,” SATA said in a statement on its website.

The union indicated it remains open to dialogue and seeks a meeting with Deputy Transport Minister Konstantinos Kyranakis.

However, SATA warned that further protest actions may follow if no resolution is reached. “We demand equality and humane working conditions,” the union stated.

The disruption comes as Greece enters the peak tourism season, with thousands of travelers relying on taxi services to and from Athens International Airport.

Last week, a proposal by Minister Kyranakis to lower weekend taxi fares prompted a strong reaction from SATA, which had threatened a 48-hour strike in response.
