Grupo Aeromexico, the parent company of Mexico’s legacy carrier, Aeromexico, has requested to terminate its collective bargaining agreements with its pilots’ and flight attendants’ unions, as it struggles to continue operating through the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic. The Mexico City-based airline says on 11 January that it has submitted the request to the country’s labour authorities and is making the move in order to stay on track as it works through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. “Based on the force majeure situation in which Aeromexico is, it has requested termination of the collective bargaining relationship, as well as the individual agreements with a certain number of pilots and flight attendants in order to reflect the new operating reality of the company,” the airline said Monday. “This situation of force majeure has forced Aeromexico to carry out a workforce reduction as a consequence of the decrease in its ordinary activities.” <br/>
