ATE 'Japanese-Style' Strike Threatens Flights at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) and Aeroparque (AEP)

Argentina's ATE union has announced a 'Japanese-style' work-to-rule strike action at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International (EZE) and Jorge Newbery Aeroparque (AEP), creating significant risk of delays and cancellations across both airports. Separately, NOTAMs are active for ASE (Aspen/Pitkin County) and PNS (Pensacola) indicating airport closures or restrictions at those U.S. airports. Traveler-care teams should anticipate rebooking demand for passengers transiting Buenos Aires — a major South American hub serving intercontinental and regional routes — and assess duty-of-care obligations for any travelers currently at or routing through EZE/AEP in the near term.
