Air Traffic Controllers Set Tuesday Vote on Escalation as Night Cargo Bans Continue in Argentina

Union delegates will decide on broader actions over what they describe as unfulfilled clauses from the current labor agreement.

Overview

  • ATEPSA is maintaining overnight restrictions on cargo flights between 22:00 and 06:00, with exemptions for humanitarian, medical, state, and search-and-rescue operations.
  • The union has published a November stoppage calendar with actions slated for the 14th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 27th, and 30th.
  • A possible extension to passenger operations is under review ahead of the long weekend, which could lead to delays or rescheduling if delegates approve new measures.
  • EANA asserts the collective agreement runs through December and reports no salary arrears, countering ATEPSA’s claims about career progression and service-condition clauses.
  • An August order for mandatory conciliation failed to break the impasse, and current actions are already disrupting agricultural, industrial, and pharmaceutical logistics at major airports.
