Air Traffic Controllers Set Tuesday Vote on Escalation Ahead of Holiday Travel

Union leaders say agreed career and service clauses remain unimplemented at EANA.

Overview

  • ATEPSA called a national delegates' plenary for Tuesday to decide whether to intensify actions that could extend beyond cargo operations.
  • Current measures target only night cargo flights from 22:00 to 06:00, halting flight plan reception and takeoff clearances with humanitarian, state, medical, and search-and-rescue exceptions.
  • The union published stoppages for November 14, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30, maintaining the night-time focus unless a broader strike is approved.
  • ATEPSA warns any escalation could reach passenger services before the long weekend, raising risks of delays or cancellations at hubs such as Aeroparque, Ezeiza, Córdoba, Mendoza, and Bariloche.
  • EANA says the wage deal remains in force through December and denies salary arrears, acknowledging some clauses on career progression and organizational structure still need budget and administrative review.
