Overview
- APLA scheduled assemblies at Aeroparque for Oct. 9 from 16:00 to 20:00 and Oct. 24 from 06:00 to 10:00, warning of delays and possible cancellations.
- Aerolíneas Argentinas said the move seeks to pressure pay talks, highlighted its recent financial improvement, and pledged to work to mitigate impacts on passengers.
- Operational effects could be significant because the windows target peak traffic at Aeroparque, with potential knock-on delays across the domestic network ahead of a long weekend and the election period.
- The union cites delayed paritaria updates, alleged breaches of the collective agreement, and objections to Decree 378/2025, which raises daily and annual flight-hour limits and reduces weekly rest and vacation time.
- A June pilots’ action led to 22 cancellations, 28 reprogrammings, and about 6,000 affected passengers, and travelers on Oct. 9 and 24 are advised to check flight status for potential changes.
