Taxi Drivers at Larnaca Airport Stage Strike Over Ride-Hailing Apps

Taxi drivers at Larnaca Airport staged a four-hour work stoppage protesting unfair competition from ride-hailing apps. They accuse the apps of illegal activity, using private vehicles and violating the designated taxi rank. They demand the immediate disconnection of the apps' signal outside of Larnaca and strict adherence to the rules. If there is no immediate response, they warn of a 24-hour strike on January 20th and an indefinite strike on January 28th.
