The Argentine government has deregulated airport ramp-operation services for all airports across the country. The decision was made after a surprise strike on Wednesday by employees from Intercargo — the company which provides ramp-operation services for most airlines in Argentina. Some airlines such as Aerolíneas Argentinas, JetSmart, Flybondi and American Airlines have staff of their own doing handling operations, but not in every airport. The incident comes after months of tension between aviation unions that represent workers from public companies and the government. On Friday afternoon, aviation unions are set to meet with government officials and offer solutions on how to end the conflict between the two.
