Flybondi Opens Voluntary Retirement Program After Weeks of Cancellations

Overview

• Flybondi announced voluntary exits for staff, describing the move as compliant with regulations and offering agreed terms to employees who opt in.
• The company links recent disruptions to renegotiations of ACMI lease contracts, saying up to eight leased aircraft were grounded last week, with six now back and two still parked.
• Neuquén’s consumer agency fined the airline 228,917,600 pesos for failures in passenger assistance during January cancellations affecting more than 22,000 travelers, and Flybondi says it will appeal and contests the province’s authority.
• Argentina’s ANAC issued infringement notices in January over December–January cancellations and opened an administrative proceeding that could lead to penalties depending on its findings.
• Independent punctuality data from Adventus place Flybondi last in early 2026, with 57.40% on-time performance between January 1 and February 28 versus JetSmart at 78.01% and Aerolíneas Argentinas at 89.42%.
