Air traffic controllers in Argentina have officially lifted their planned strikes scheduled for February 28, March 1, and March 2, following the approval of a partial agreement during a General Assembly of the employees at the Argentine Air Navigation Company (EANA). The decision was supported by over 700 employees who participated in the assembly, leading to a consensus on salary increases for the upcoming period.

The union representing the air traffic controllers, the Association of Technicians and Employees of Protection and Security for Aeronautics (Atepsa), announced that the measures affecting both commercial and general aviation flights across the country would no longer be in effect. This is significant as it allows for the resumption of normal flight operations, alleviating the uncertainty that had loomed over air travel in Argentina due to the proposed industrial actions.

The lifting of the strike is viewed as a critical development for the aviation sector in Argentina, particularly given its importance to commerce and tourism. The agreement reached not only addresses the immediate pay concerns of the air traffic controllers but also mitigates the ripple effects that the industrial actions would have had on the country's economic activities during a crucial time for travel and transport.
