With the suspension of the strike by pilots and flight attendants this Christmas weekend, movement at the country’s airports this Saturday (24) is intense, but normal. The suspension of the movement was announced by the National Union of Aeronauts (SNA) last night (23).
The category must disclose until 12:30 this Sunday (25) if it accepts the new proposal for an agreement presented by the companies in the sector. In it, the companies maintain the commitment with the values of readjustment of full replacement of the inflation measured by the INPC and another 1% of real gain and as novelties bring the possibility of changing the hours of rest by means of an indemnity, the beginning of the vacations count from a weekend day, in addition to renewing the terms of the aeronauts’ collective agreement.
The director of the National Union of Aeronauts, Leonardo Souza, said that the indication of the SNA is for the approval of the proposal. “The scenario of deepening the dispute is reckless, the Judiciary is in recess and a strike until February is not good”, he said.
Since last Monday (19), professionals in the category have been making stoppages between 6am and 8am, at the airports of Congonhas and Guarulhos (São Paulo), Santos Dumont and Galeão (Rio de Janeiro), Viracopos (Campinas), Porto Alegre (RS), Confins (Belo Horizonte, MG), Brasília (DF) and Fortaleza (CE).
This Christmas, only at the 19 airports of the Infraero Network, regular commercial flights should receive around 2.5 million passengers between December 16, 2022 and January 2, 2023. The number is 45% higher compared to the movement of last year when 1.7 million people boarded and disembarked at the company’s terminals, between December 17th and January 3rd, 2022.
