Argentina Air-Traffic Controllers Launch First of Nine November Strikes Halting Overnight Cargo Departures

The union accuses EANA of breaking labor commitments, a claim the company disputes.

Overview

  • The first eight-hour stoppage ran from 22:00 to 06:00 and targeted cargo departures nationwide, leaving passenger flights operating.
  • Exceptions were maintained for medical, humanitarian, state and search-and-rescue flights, according to the union.
  • ATEPSA began a campaign of nine eight-hour actions scheduled through November and also suspended EANA training and service commissions.
  • EANA labeled the measures illegitimate and said the wage agreement remains in force and is being executed through December.
  • With Ezeiza handling about 98% of Argentina’s air cargo, industry groups warn of likely delays and difficult reprogramming if stoppages persist.
