Arrivals may also be affected depending on the airline. Passengers are asked to contact the airlines regularly for information about their travel in the coming days.
According to Verdi, the flight of employees in the aviation security area, passenger control, and personnel and goods control starts at 3:30 a.m. and ends at midnight.
