APLA Assemblies to Delay 95 Aerolíneas Argentinas Flights at Aeroparque, Affecting 12,000

The pilots' union is pressing for wage talks before the October 26 elections.

Overview

  • The union is holding assemblies from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, and it warns of delays and possible cancellations.
  • Aerolíneas Argentinas says more than 12,000 passengers will be affected and advises travelers to check reservation emails, the airport website, or their travel agency.
  • The airline criticizes the action as counterproductive and notes it has moved past years of operating losses and state dependence.
  • APLA attributes the measures to stalled pay negotiations, alleged breaches of the collective agreement, and sector deregulation, and it holds the company responsible for disruptions.
  • The union has also scheduled an October 24 assembly from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., which could trigger broader knock-on delays across the domestic network.
