LATAM Pilots End Chile Strike With Deal Valid Through 2028

The settlement follows days of cancellations as crews pushed to recover pre‑pandemic pay.

Overview

  • The Sindicato de Pilotos da Latam said a new collective agreement ends the stoppage and will remain in force until 2028.
  • LATAM stated that cancellations already posted through November 24 stand, with operations set to normalize on November 25.
  • The walkout began on November 12 after a vote involving roughly 500 of the 900 LATAM pilots based in Chile seeking restoration of pre‑pandemic salaries and benefits.
  • The carrier initially scrubbed 173 flights between November 12 and 17, and overall disruptions ultimately affected about 30,000 passengers, largely on domestic Chile routes.
  • LATAM says most impacted travelers received solutions within 24 hours and can rebook at no cost or request full refunds.
