Unionized workers strike at Jorge Newbery International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina, prompts disruptions Oct. 23. Reconfirm flights.
Event
A strike by members of the International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (INTERCARGO) is causing disruptions at Jorge Newbery International Airport (AEP) in Buenos Aires early Oct. 23. Reports suggest that at least 15 JetSMART (JA) and Flybondi (FO) flights have been canceled and/or rescheduled.
Flight delays and cancellations are likely to linger through late Oct. 23 as operators clear backlogs. In the event of associated protests, road access to AEP could be disrupted, and scuffles with the police are possible.
