LATAM pilots in Chile strike after mediation collapses; airline activates contingency plan

LATAM Airlines' Chilean pilots began a strike at midnight on 12 November after mediation between the Sindicato de Pilotos de LATAM (SPL) and the airline collapsed. LATAM has activated a contingency plan, offering fee-free changes and refunds, as the stoppage threatens major cancellations and network disruption.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Immediate operational risk: the strike threatens cancellations and passenger disruption during rollout of LATAM’s contingency measures; the region has already seen widespread cancellations and stranded travellers across Brazil and Argentina.
Compounds existing pressures on LATAMs network and balance sheet: the stoppage comes after warnings that engine recalls will disrupt fleet availability through the decade and following a share-capital reduction announced in Chilean filings.
