Argentina: Strikes Disrupt Travel to and from Buenos Aires’ Airport

Strikes at or near Buenos Aires’ Ezeiza International Airport have disrupted travel four times in first forty days of 2011, the most recent occurring Feb. 11 when protesters blocked the highway leading to the airport. The resulting traffic jam backed up three miles with some travelers walking the remaining distance hauling their luggage. The strikers have included air traffic controllers, baggage scanners and airport security staff. Workers for Aerolineas Argentinas and LAN Chile have also held separate strikes in recent months. Future protests are likely and if they fit the pattern, they will impede travel to and from the airport.
