Pilots’ Assemblies at Aeroparque Threaten Delays to 95 Aerolíneas Argentinas Flights Today

APLA says stalled wage talks prompted the action, with a new assembly scheduled for October 24.

Overview

  • APLA held four-hour assemblies at Aeroparque from 16:00 to 20:00, a targeted tactic short of a full strike that disrupts operations during a high-demand travel window.
  • Aerolíneas Argentinas warned that about 95 flights and roughly 12,200 passengers could face delays, with the risk of some cancellations and knock-on effects across the domestic network.
  • The airline criticized the move as unhelpful to its recovery after years of losses and advised passengers to check email notifications, its flight-status page, or their travel agency for itinerary changes.
  • The union cites delayed paritaria talks, alleged breaches of the collective agreement, and opposition to sector deregulation tied to Decree 378/2025, also criticizing the hiring of foreign pilots.
  • Further assemblies are planned for October 24 from 06:00 to 10:00, and reporting indicates the company prefers substantive wage talks after the October 26 legislative elections.
