Colombia: Possible Avianca pilot strike September 20-27

Avianca pilots threaten to strike September 20-27; ticket sales suspended for September 20-22 flights

Warning

Event

Pilots at Colombia’s national airline Avianca have threatened to strike between Wednesday, September 20, and Wednesday, September 27. The union behind the action represents more than half of all Avianca pilots and as such the strike could have a major impact on flight operations if it goes ahead. The airline has suspended ticket sales for services on September 20-22, although currently scheduled flights have not yet been canceled.

Advice

Travelers are advised to keep abreast of the situation and to confirm the status of their flights prior to departure for the airport.
