Labor unrest has emerged within the Argentine aviation sector, specifically affecting Aeroparque Jorge Newbery. Initial disruptions involved employees from the outsourcing firm GPS, who protested the dismissal of a union delegate, alleging it was “illegal anti-union retaliation.” During this period, the low-cost carrier Flybondi also faced scrutiny over record flight cancellations, passenger complaints, and potential financial irregularities.

Following these events, the ATE/ANAC union announced further labor actions scheduled for early September. These planned protests, consisting of assemblies and demonstrations at both Aeroparque and Ezeiza airports, aim to secure salary increases, sector-wide collective bargaining, and increased funding for airport inspection and firefighting services. The union stated that while these actions may cause delays, sanitary and official services would be maintained.
