No problems with flights landing at Corfu Airport today

A total of seven flights were unable to land at Corfu AIrport yesterday and had to be diverted to Athens or other airports.

Five of these flights were eventually able to land in the evening, but the flight from Belfast had to return via Brindisi.

The Aegean flight from Moscow was diverted to Athens and didn't make another attempt to land in Corfu.

According to Civil Aviation Employees Union President Dimitris Roussos, bearing in mind the severity of the weather conditions, it can be considered a success that five of the seven flights were eventually able to land at Corfu AIrport.
