Overview

• ASTJ called off its planned 24-hour strike set for August 1 after signing a partial agreement with JetSmart.
• The deal grants a one-time bonus of up to 10% for first officers and between 10% and 17% for cabin crew.
• Union officials say the bonus reduces part of the salary gap with neighboring subsidiaries but falls short of full pay equity.
• An assembly of ASTJ members will meet in the coming days to assess the accord’s implementation and chart further demands.
• Following recent walkouts by air traffic controllers and pilots, this latest dispute adds to Argentina’s winter travel tensions.
