ANAC Cites Flybondi Over Mass Cancellations as Carrier Leases Jets to Restore Service

The probe reactivates a dormant sanctions tool that could lead to fines or a temporary suspension.

Overview

  • Argentina’s civil aviation authority issued violation reports documenting Flybondi’s cancellations and opened an administrative investigation.
  • Roughly 125 regional flights were scrubbed during the summer peak, leaving about 22,000 passengers affected, according to press tallies.
  • ANAC directed affected travelers to file complaints through its official website because consumer-protection rules do not apply to these cases.
  • Flybondi said its operation is in a process of regularization and is adding four leased Airbus A320s with crews, bringing its summer fleet to 11 aircraft.
  • Officials emphasized passenger protection and service reliability as they reinstated a sanctions mechanism that had not been used since 2020.
