On January 8, 2021 at 12:48pm, at least 5,000 of the airline's unpaid workers, including several unionized ones, went on strike after the airline missed the deadline of January 5 to reimburse months' worth of unpaid wages and benefits to the employees. They placed red and black strike flags on airports served by the airline. In addition to demanding payment, workers also protested about the airline's missed payments to Infonavit, Fonacot, and the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS). Following the strike, the airline's website became inactive with users reporting it to display an "HTTP Error 500" message.
