Argentine Pilots Set Aeroparque Assemblies for Oct. 9 and 24, Warning of Flight Disruptions

The actions aim to force progress in pay negotiations, signaling opposition to Decree 378’s rule changes.

Overview

  • APLA scheduled assemblies at Aeroparque on Oct. 9 from 16:00 to 20:00 and Oct. 24 from 06:00 to 10:00, timing them before a long weekend and during the legislative election period.
  • The union says the on-site meetings will cause delays and possible cancellations, with knock-on effects likely given Aeroparque’s heavy domestic traffic.
  • Leaders cite stalled paritaria talks, alleged breaches of the collective bargaining agreement and concern over industry deregulation, including Decree 378 on duty and rest rules.
  • Aerolíneas Argentinas criticized the move as pressure on negotiations and said it will work to limit the impact on passengers’ travel plans.
  • A June action by APLA led to 22 cancellations, 28 rebookings and roughly 6,000 affected passengers, and union officials have left open additional measures if talks do not advance.
