The Aviation Flight Attendants’ Union (ASSA) announced that the strike scheduled for the first minute of June 1 has been extended for 10 days.
Through social media, the union announced that the strike was postponed following a hearing held on June 1 at the Federal Labor Court for Collective Affairs, based in Mexico City, with the participation of the Federal Center for Conciliation and Labor Registration.
Aeroméxico , for its part, confirmed in a statement that ASSA—the legal representative of Aerovías de México flight attendants— has requested an extension to continue the salary review process .
In light of this decision, the airline stated that its operations continue unaffected and that flights remain as scheduled.
“Grupo Aeroméxico reiterates its commitment to maintaining an open and transparent dialogue to reach agreements that benefit flight attendants, allowing the company to continue being the most competitive employment option in the sector,” the company stated.
On Saturday night, Aeroméxico presented a new proposal for a 4.5% salary increase , which was rejected by the union assembly.
According to ASSA, its members are seeking to recover the purchasing power lost between 2020 and 2024 , estimated at 12.12%, amid cumulative inflation of 29.89%. The union maintained that its fight goes beyond a one-time increase, as the goal is to reduce the wage gap in the face of rising costs of living and the increase in the minimum wage.
Last week, at a meeting, members unanimously rejected a previous proposal from the airline, which included a 2.9% increase for Contract A and a 3.35% increase for Contract B, considering these percentages below current inflation.
If no agreement is reached in the coming days, the new date planned for the possible outbreak of the strike is June 10 .
