Argentina’s Air Traffic Truce Expires Friday With Extension Under Consideration

A labor hearing could grant a five‑working‑day extension to avert fresh disruptions.

Overview

  • The compulsory conciliation imposed on December 23 ends on Friday, January 16, potentially allowing ATEPSA to restart job actions that could impact flights.
  • The Labor Ministry set a hearing for 11:15 a.m., and EANA has indicated it may ask authorities to extend the truce by five working days if no deal is reached.
  • EANA said it is working continuously to keep operations normal and criticized what it called the union’s intransigent stance.
  • The dispute centers on pay after a 2025 stopgap agreement granted a 15% increase in four tranches, followed by renewed stoppages late in the year.
  • Federal Justice is probing ATEPSA leaders and former EANA president Gabriela Logatto over a disputed 2023 paritary record, and local reports warn that any new actions could affect flights in regions such as Mendoza.
