Overview
- The airline suspended all scheduled service after its three operational aircraft were grounded on Thursday, leaving Flybondi without flights for almost 24 hours and forcing reprogramming of 11 cancelled services.
- Nine aircraft are out of service because of maintenance problems and disputes over leasing contracts, and several planes sent abroad for inspections have not returned to Argentina.
- Fuel deliveries were disrupted after YPF and other suppliers reported delayed payments, a cash shortfall that company documents and union talks say has worsened day-to-day operations.
- A criminal complaint filed by lawyers citing Adventus data alleges about 2,500 cancelled flights and roughly 350,000 affected passengers and seeks an investigation into irregularities in ticket sales and service.
- Hundreds of former employees say Flybondi has not paid agreed severances and voluntary-retirement sums, a dispute that adds legal and reputational risk and could prompt regulatory sanctions or further operational disruption.
