Argentine low-cost airline Flybondi announced the signing of an agreement with aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus for the acquisition of 35 new factory-built aircraft, with an approximate investment of 1.7 billion dollars. This investment, backed by COC Global Enterprise, projects a 230% fleet growth in the next four years. The order includes 15 firm units (plus 5 options) of the Airbus A220-300, making Flybondi the first operator in Latin America to use this model. It also includes 10 firm units (plus 5 options) of the Boeing 737 MAX 10. This decision strengthens the airline's operational capacity, drives the creation of thousands of jobs, and improves connectivity between countries and cities.
"Flybondi came to change the way to fly in Argentina, and now we are ready to take this model to the rest of the countries in Latin America," the company stated.
"Investing is believing, and today we believe more than ever in the future," said Leonardo Scatturice, Chairman & CEO of COC Global Enterprise.
In turn, Mauricio Sana, current CEO of Flybondi, pointed out that "this decision is a natural step in our vision of building the most democratic and efficient airline network in the region. A billion-dollar investment in the incorporation of new aircraft reaffirms our commitment to the region's growth."
