Possible Airport Strike

Those visitors planning on coming to Aruba in the next week or so should take NOTE that there is talk of a strike at the airport. The union wants a 25% salary increase with no merit based pay and several other demands. The operator of the airport is offering 8%.

Last year the entrance to the airport was blocked and people had to walk from the traffic intersection all the way in to the airport. Not good, especially for those senior citizens and handicapped people.

So, be sure to pay close attention to your flights and things. There has been a similar action at Customs where cargo has been delayed for days, including perishable items.

This may or may not affect your travel plans.

Bon dia.
