Argentina strike: Brazil flights cancelled before Lanús v Flamengo | OneFootball

Strike in the Country Threatened the Flamengo Match in the Recopa

Argentina is experiencing a crisis due to the labor reform proposed by President Javier Milei. As a result, dozens of flights from Brazil to the neighboring country are being canceled. It is worth noting that Flamengo is in 'hermano' territory for the South American Recopa match this Thursday (19), against Lanús (ARG).

Due to the tense situation, some flights scheduled for this Thursday (19) were canceled or rescheduled because of the general strike called in the country. The strike was announced by Argentina's main trade union, the CGT (General Confederation of Labor).

Since pilots, aeronautical staff, and even oil workers who refuel planes will join the protest, hundreds of flights to Argentina had to be canceled. According to Aerolíneas Argentinas, 31,000 passengers will be affected.

SO, WILL THERE BE A MATCH BETWEEN LANÚS AND FLAMENGO?

So far, Conmebol confirms the match between Flamengo and Lanús, scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (19). However, if the groups of workers who operate in stadiums join the strike, La Fortaleza, home of the current South American champion, will not be opened. There is still no decision on whether these employees will participate in the strike.

WHAT DO THE AIRLINES SAY, AFTER ALL?

Gol informed passengers who had tickets to Argentina that the general strike will prevent all airport operations in the cities of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, and Rosario, and that some flights to and from Argentina have been canceled. LATAM issued a statement on their website.
