Passengers are being told to allow themselves more time as the situation could change quickly
Airline Jet2 has given holidaymakers an update amid fears that a major airport could be shut down due to rampaging wildfires with flames 25m high. A major wildfire raged across the northern suburbs of Athens on Monday, leaving at least one person dead and triggering multiple evacuations as swirling winds hampered the efforts of hundreds of firefighters and dozens of water-dropping planes.
Last year, wildfires in Greece claimed the lives of over 20 people, including 18 migrants who were trapped by the flames while journeying through a forest in northeastern Greece, caught in a massive fire that raged for more than two weeks. Authorities were faced with “an exceptionally dangerous fire, which we have been fighting for more than 20 hours under dramatic circumstances”, climate crisis and civil protection minister Vassilis Kikilias said mid-morning on Monday.
