Overview
- Flybondi scrubbed 125 domestic and regional flights from Thursday to Monday, roughly a quarter of its planned schedule for those five days.
- More than 22,000 passengers were affected, while the airline says it still operated over 520 flights and carried about 94,000 travelers.
- Thirty flights were canceled on Monday alone, and a temporary Friday closure at Buenos Aires Ezeiza triggered a knock-on impact through the weekend.
- To stabilize summer operations, Flybondi is bringing in four Avion Express Airbus A320s on wet lease set to start flying midweek and remain through March.
- The disruptions come during a transition after a June ownership change to U.S.-based COC Global Enterprise, with Flybondi pursuing a 35-aircraft order worth about $1.7 billion as it seeks to improve reliability after a 2025 cancellation rate of 6.4% reported by Amadeus.
