Dozens of Flights Delayed at Aeroparque After Córdoba Storm Grounds Aircraft

A severe Córdoba storm grounded aircraft, forcing reprogrammed schedules during the peak vacation rush.

Overview

  • Roughly 30 to 37 departures and arrivals at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery were delayed on January 2, affecting thousands of travelers.
  • Aerolíneas Argentinas linked most disruptions to multiple aircraft taken out of service after the Córdoba airport’s storm closure, with five planes placed in inspection.
  • Flybondi logged several cancellations and extreme delays, including flight FO 5950 to Florianópolis that departed nearly seven hours late.
  • Passengers reported uneven communication, with many learning of schedule changes only at the airport despite app or email notifications to some travelers.
