Air traffic controllers' strike: what is the impact in Córdoba

The measure, which was implemented this Tuesday, will be extended to Thursday and Saturday as well

The air traffic controllers' strike, which began last Friday, has caused inconveniences throughout the country and Córdoba  was not exempt from suffering the consequences of this measure.

This Tuesday, for example, many flights had to be rescheduled at Ambrosio Taravella Airport.

In addition to today's disruptions, the coming days will also present restrictions:

  1. Thursday, August 28: takeoffs will be prevented between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
  2. Saturday, August 30: the strike will conclude with two stoppages, which will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The nature of these measures, which prevent all types of takeoffs in the country, will affect arrival and departure times throughout the day on the specified dates.

The protest by the air traffic controllers' union, ATEPSA, has as its main objective a salary increase.

Aerolíneas Argentinas has been one of the most affected companies, issuing an official statement detailing the alteration of its schedule for this Tuesday.

Out of a planned operation of 295 flights, 178 services were affected: 82 flights canceled, all of them domestic, and 96 flights rescheduled.

This situation raises the number of affected passengers to about 15,000 on this airline alone.
