Chilean Airlines Embroiled in Labor Dispute Amid Economic Uncertainty

LATAM Airlines pilots in Chile, a subsidiary of the LATAM Airlines Group, have rejected the airline’s latest pay proposal and will go on strike starting November 12, 2025. The Latam Pilots Union, which represents the majority of the airline’s pilots, cited the company’s refusal to restore pilots’ salaries to pre-pandemic levels as the reason for the strike. The airline has offered to honor the union’s demands and has committed to reaching an agreement that benefits all parties. The strike may impact less than 10% of passengers traveling to or from Chile, and the airline has offered travelers the option to change flights or receive full refunds during the strike.
