The airline Gol canceled its round-trip flights at Argentine airports next Wednesday (24), as a result of the general strike announced by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) in that country, last December, for that date. The measure was taken considering that the strike will affect the entire airport operation in the cities where Gol operates (Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza and Rosário), making flights impossible.
The largest trade union group in Argentina, the CGT announced at the end of December last year a general strike against the economic measures announced by President Javier Milei. Scheduled for the 24th of this month, the strike will see a large protest in front of the National Congress. The CGT will also speak out against the dismissal of around 7 thousand public servants and also against the privatization process of state-owned companies, announced by Milei.

Another option would be a refund, that is, the return of the ticket, at no additional cost. According to Latam, the 'status' of the flight can be checked on its email address
