this can't be good for aerolineas... lan chile, the largest latin american carrier, recently bought a moribund argentinian carrier and launched both domestic and international service in argentina... lan chile is also currently offering bargain basement fares of $430 round-trip between miami and buenos aires to promote its new service... aerolineas has been struggling as it is and this certainly won't help matters...

Aerolineas Argentinas canceled some international flights on Friday due to a strike by pilots and technicians, a company official said.

Employees walked off the job on Thursday to demand wage increases, causing delays and cancellations of domestic and international routes.

"All Aerolineas' flights were canceled up until 4 p.m. (1900 GMT)," an official at the airline said.

The airline flies to Miami, New York, Madrid and Rome as well as to 33 domestic destinations. It was not immediately clear which flights had been affected.
