Chile: Possible LAN Express (airline) strike April 3-9 /update 2
Possible LAN Express (airline) strike in Chile between April 3 and April 9; related strikes possible in Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, and Brazil
Event
Cabin crew staff at the airline LAN Express, a subsidiary of LATAM, are set to strike in the coming days. The strike could take place as soon as Tuesday, April 3, or as late as April 9. However, the strike had previously been threatened for March 28-29, and then for April 10, so further date changes cannot be ruled out.
If the strike goes ahead, significant flight delays and cancelations are possible throughout the airline’s network. Flight operated by other LATAM branches (including in Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, and Brazil) could also face disruptions due to potential solidarity strikes.
Context
LAN Express and operates domestic Chilean and regional flights.
Advice
Travelers are advised to confirm the status of their flights prior to departure for the airport.
