Overview
- Enrique Piñeyro shared footage showing a green laser illuminating his windshield during final approach to Ezeiza and called the practice a police matter.
- Piñeyro said the targeting has recurred in the same area for about five years and warned that laser exposure can distract crews and harm retinas.
- Pilot representatives, including APLA and Aerolíneas Argentinas, described laser strikes as a common problem at several Argentine airports using readily available devices.
- EANA and ANAC stated that incidents should be reported to the Airport Security Police, which would classify them as unlawful interference if a formal complaint is filed.
- Sources linked to the PSA reported that no pilot has lodged a formal complaint, said the suspected origin is near La Matanza, and noted that pinpointing the source is extremely difficult under current conditions.
