ARGENTINA – Air travel in Argentina was disrupted Wednesday, after a two-hour strike by air traffic controllers suspended national departures at Buenos Aires’ Jorge Newbery airport.

Officials say the stoppage ran from 8am to 10am local time, with international flights unaffected.

The strike stems from a pay dispute between air navigation union ATEPSA and state-run air navigation company, which called the action an unacceptable attempt to disrupt an essential service during the holiday season.
