Not Flying the Unfriendly Skies in Argentina

If living in South America showed me anything, it’s that they really know how to protest. Travelers left stranded for up to two days in Buenos Aires’ Ezeiza international airport on Saturday protested by tossing breaking equipment and attacking guards after Aerolineas Argentinas suspended most of its flights there. The delays and suspensions were attributed to a strike by the pilots’ union a union for airport tarmac workers for higher wages. But union officials said the disruptions were caused by overbooked flights.
“There’s no one from the company, no one is showing their face or telling us when we’re going to fly. We’re stranded with children and the elderly,” a woman whose flight to Venezuela was canceled on Friday told local TV.
