ATE Delays Airport Strike To Feb. 9 As Terminal Assemblies Disrupt Flights

The union delayed the walkout to comply with essential‑services notice rules following ANAC’s pledge to process salaries this week.

Overview

  • ATE pushed the 24‑hour stoppage to Monday, Feb. 9 after legal counsel flagged the five‑day notice required for essential services, with the raise still under dispute.
  • Assemblies declared at airports are already causing delays and reprogramming on domestic and international routes.
  • The conflict centers on a reversed increase to the ‘racionamiento’ allowance that appeared in the SARHA system and on salaries not deposited on Jan. 31, according to the union.
  • ATE called an 11 a.m. assembly at Ezeiza’s Terminal C to brief workers on the plan and next steps in the escalating dispute.
  • If the strike proceeds, it would halt control, firefighters, health, inspection and administrative services across 27–30 airports, exempting only state, medical, humanitarian and organ‑transfer flights.
