Overview
- ATEPSA announced measures starting December 17 that will initially affect departures on domestic routes and could later reach international flights.
- The union says it will restrict authorizations for aircraft and ground vehicles and will not receive or transmit flight plans.
- No specific hours for the actions have been published, leaving carriers and travelers without a defined protest schedule.
- November actions were limited to nighttime cargo operations, but the new phase targets passenger travel during the Christmas and New Year period.
- EANA contends the wage pact remains in force and salaries are up to date, while an August Labor Ministry conciliation has not produced a settlement and the union warns the measures could extend into the final week of the year.
