The airline Flybondi has recently inaugurated a new service in Río Gallegos with six weekly flights and has launched promotions of up to 50% discount for flights between March and November 2025 to all its domestic destinations. The company flies to 18 domestic destinations and 3 international ones through 24 routes, including charter flights between Córdoba and Maceió until July.
Flybondi has increased its fleet and currently has 22 aircraft, making it the second largest fleet among the companies operating in the country. Passengers can choose both Ezeiza International Airport and Aeroparque as departure points. However, the company faces challenges such as the age of its planes, which require more maintenance, and the difficulty in replacing parts.
The company belongs to a group of investment funds led by Cartesian Capital Group from the United States, followed by Yamasa Co. Limited, Givin Capital, and other private investors from Argentina and Europe. Despite its efforts to maintain solid operations, Flybondi has faced issues with punctuality, cancellations, and delays, according to data from Adventus Consultora.
Flybondi has been criticized for its operational performance, especially on high-demand tourist routes, which has caused harm to travelers. Recently, the Government of the province of Buenos Aires imposed a fine of 300 million pesos on the airline after receiving numerous complaints from users. Although the company rejected the fine, the authorities sought solutions to improve operations rather than simply penalize.
The company continues to expand its fleet and incorporate aircraft under new modalities authorized by the Government, such as wet lease, as part of the "Open Skies" policy. Currently, Flybondi operates with a fleet of 22 planes, with an average age of 12 years. The active directors of Flybondi Limited include Peter Michael Yu, Juan Ball, and other prominent investors. The company continues to add routes and work on improving its operational performance.
