Colombian air-traffic controllers add to strike chaos in Bogota

Monday, October 16, 2017


Three weeks after 730 Avianca pilots walked-off the job causing widespread disruptions, last week, travelers in Bogotá’s El Dorado airport were subject to further delays when air-traffic controllers began a work to rule in support of the pilots.

The controllers’ union began slowing operations in support of the striking pilots, despite a ruling last week by a Bogotá court that the pilots’ strike is illegal.
