Angry customers broke into a riot at an airport in Buenos Aires, after learning that their international flights were cancelled for the second day in a row, due to a strike by airline personnel.

The passengers reportedly broke ticket counters and threw objects at Aerolineas Argentinas airline employees.

Baggage handlers and ticket counter workers at Argentinaโ€™s main airport have been on strike since Friday, in a battle for higher wages.

The airline cancelled flights and several thousand passengers were stranded, including a woman who was scheduled to fly to Venezuela Friday:

โ€œThereโ€™s no one from the company, no one is showing their face or telling us when weโ€™re going to fly. Weโ€™re stranded with children and the elderly,โ€ she told an Argentinean TV station.
