Pilots of Aeroméxico are preparing for a potential strike on October 1 due to a lack of agreement on contract negotiations with the airline, prompting passengers to seek information on ticket refunds.
On Wednesday, the Association of Airline Pilots (ASPA) announced that negotiations with Aeroméxico regarding their collective bargaining agreement are at a standstill, with less than a week remaining before the contract deadline. The pilots are prepared to strike if an agreement is not reached, indicating a serious escalation in their negotiations. They protested at Terminal 2 of Mexico City International Airport (AICM) to raise awareness of their concerns regarding the airline's inadequate proposals.
The pilots expressed frustration over the perceived indifference of Aeroméxico towards reaching a timely and fair contract. In their statement, they emphasized their willingness to negotiate and reach mutually beneficial solutions, stating, "We do not seek more than what we deserve, but the offers from the airline's administration fall far short of being just." This situation is developing rapidly, and the potential strike could significantly affect flight operations, putting many passengers' travel plans in jeopardy.
As a result of the looming potential strike, passengers with reserved tickets are left uncertain about their travel plans and options for refunds. The airline and ASPA have a week to negotiate, and the outcome could have widespread implications for the airline industry in Mexico, as well as affecting thousands of travelers who rely on Aeroméxico for their flights. Therefore, individuals looking for information on how to proceed with refunds or change their travel arrangements should stay informed as the situation unfolds.
