Flybondi Faces Mounting Pressure | Aviation Week

Flybondi is facing mounting operational pressure as disruptions deepen in Argentina, according to Aviation Week. OAG Schedules Analyser data shows Flybondi was scheduled to offer about 370,000 seats across its network in July, roughly 4% more than a year earlier, but the published schedule no longer matches actual operations. The airline has not operated a flight for five consecutive days, and Flightradar24 lists several services on July 7 as “unknown,” suggesting cancellations. The halt comes during what the report describes as Flybondi’s toughest period since launching in 2018 amid supplier disputes and growing financial strain, with creditors reportedly seeking bankruptcy proceedings. Passenger figures reflect the impact: 70,863 domestic travelers in May, down 65.5% year over year, and 16,077 international passengers, down 39.4%. Rival JetSmart is expanding, while Flybondi has seen leadership changes, including CEO Paz Lovisolo reportedly resigning after about four months.
