The Association of Aircraft Protection and Safety Technicians and Employees (ATEPSA) announced a calendar of strikes that will last for 18 days in the month of June, in demand of salary increases. These force measures will affect both national and international flights and will last between three and six hours per day.

This measure will affect a large number of flights, both national and international, in different time slots. Flight scheduling will be disrupted and delays and cancellations are likely.
ATEPSA, which has between 1000 and 1200 members, He had already carried out two three-hour protests during the general strike of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) on May 9. The organization demands salary increases that they consider fair and necessary for their members.
