Chilean Airline Faces Labor Dispute Amid Economic Uncertainty

LATAM Airlines pilots in Chile have rejected the airline’s latest pay proposal, leading to a planned strike that will begin at midnight on November 12, 2025. The Latam Pilots Union, which represents the majority of the airline’s pilots, is seeking restoration of pre-pandemic salaries. The strike may impact less than 10% of passengers traveling to or from Chile. The airline has offered travelers the option to change flights or receive full refunds during the strike. LATAM Airlines is an important subsidiary of the LATAM Airlines Group, which operates in several countries in Latin America.
