Overview

• On the second day of the staggered action, controllers halted departures nationwide during 13:00–16:00 and 19:00–22:00 windows, triggering widespread cancellations and delays.
• Aerolíneas Argentinas reported 46 cancellations and 122 reprogrammings on Sunday affecting about 4,400 passengers, warning of knock-on delays outside the strike windows.
• The flag carrier filed complaints to EANA and ANAC alleging ATEPSA blocked nine authorized departures, including two international flights; the union rejects the accusation and says safety is preserved.
• Other airlines reported heavy impact and mitigation: Flybondi counted more than 7,000 affected and reprogrammed over 40 flights, JetSmart cited around 5,000 with fee‑free date changes, and LATAM reprogrammed and canceled select services.
