ANAC Opens Case Against Flybondi After Wave of January Cancellations

The carrier says service will stabilize as four leased Airbus A320s are cleared to operate this week.

Overview

  • Argentina’s civil aviation authority filed infringement notices and initiated an administrative proceeding that could lead to fines or a temporary suspension of Flybondi’s operating authorization.
  • Between Thursday and Monday, the airline canceled 125 domestic and regional flights—nearly a quarter of its schedule—affecting more than 22,000 travelers.
  • Operational data show continuing disruption, including 24 of 47 flights canceled on Tuesday at Aeroparque, with long lines, passenger complaints and some rebookings pushed up to two days.
  • Flybondi attributed the disruptions to operational issues and limited fleet availability and said four Avion Express A320s under wet lease are being approved to enter service this week.
  • Monitoring sites report 206 cancellations and 346 delays since January 1, while the crisis follows a 2025 ownership change to COC Global Enterprise and an announced order for 35 aircraft.
