The Air company FlybondiThis Wednesday I will move all your business from the Buenos Aires Aeroparque to the Buenos Aires airport Ezeizato avoid the 24-hour strike ordered by three aviation unions.
The guilds Aircraft Pilots Association (APLA), the Air Force Senior Staff Union (UPSA) and the Aviation Staff Association (APA) called a 24-hour strike on Wednesday at Aerolíneas Argentinas and Intercargo, demanding salary improvements.
In addition to Aerolíneas, the cessation of Intercargo’s activities affects almost all other airlines operating in the Aeroparque and Ezeiza, since the state ramp company is the one that provides them with the service of transferring passengers and baggage from the building to the plane .
Flybondi, owned by investment funds and individual investors, led by the US fund CartesianIt is one of rare exceptions within that scheme, since it did its own ramp service in Ezeiza which does not depend on Intercargowhose personnel are part of the Aeronautical Personnel Association (APA), led by Edgardo Llano.
Furthermore, the “low cost” company does not have unionized pilots within the APLA, another of the unions that called the strike, since all Flybondi staff are members of a single union: the Flybondi Aeronautical Workers Associationwhose status was granted during the government of Mauricio Macri.
“Given that the low cost airline has its own service in 80% of the airports in which it operates, will be able to continue the activity during the day of the strike. However, in other airports such as Aeroparque this activity is carried out by the Intercargo company. As a result, Flybondi had to make operational changes for that day airport changes, rescheduling and cancellation of 6 flights“, said the company, which competes with airlines on domestic flights and also operates regional flights to Brazil.
“Passengers affected by these changes, whose flights have been canceled or rescheduled with more than 4 hours difference from the original time, can change the date of their flight without additional costs by calling 0810 – 555 – 3592 (from Monday to Sundays from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.) pm) for travel within the next 30 days,” the company added in a statement. And he advised you to check the status of your flights on https://flybondi.com/ar/flights or on the Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 page www.aa2000.com.ar.
Other airlines that depend on Intercargo for their daily operations offer passengers the possibility to change the date of their flight free of charge: this is the case of LATAMwhich had 40 scheduled flights to and from Brazil, Chile and Peru, in addition to other “low cost” flights operating national flights, JetSmart.
