If you have flights scheduled from any airport in Argentina, you should be aware that there is a strike by airport workers that could cause delays and cancellations at various airports in the country between March 18 and 24.
Strike at Argentine airports from March 18 to 24 during these hours: Check if your flight is affected
The measure was announced by the Association of State Workers (ATE) and affects air operations between March 18 and 24 at more than 27 airports in Argentina, including the busiest ones such as the two airports in Buenos Aires: Aeroparque and Ezeiza.
How the strike will affect airports between March 18 and 24 in Buenos Aires
Unlike other total work stoppages, the airport strike announced for March 18-24 will take place in two time slots per day: from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
During these times, you will encounter reduced operational activity, which could lead to rescheduling, delays, or flight cancellations, especially during peak times at the terminals.
In addition, the strike will last for a whole week, increasing the likelihood of complications if you are traveling during those dates.
Which flights could be affected
The strike mainly affects the work carried out by employees of the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC), which could limit the normal operation of airports. In addition, only medical, humanitarian, and official flights will be guaranteed, while commercial flights may be subject to schedule changes or outright cancellations.
Recommendations if you are traveling by plane during the March strike in Argentina
If you have a flight between March 18 and 24, it is best to check the status of your flight before going to the airport, stay in contact with the airline, and arrive earlier than usual. Airlines may announce rescheduling or schedule changes depending on the impact of the strike at each airport.
