What happened to Flybondi?
Flybondi, the Argentine low-cost airline, is undergoing a deep crisis that has led to the near-total cancellation of its flights. Starting from the end of June 2026, most of the connections operated by Flybondi were canceled, leaving thousands of passengers waiting for answers and alternatives. The situation is evolving, and the airline’s future is uncertain.
This crisis is linked to financial and organizational problems within the company, which has been unable to maintain regular service. The specific airports involved have not been specified, but considering the nature of the airline, which mainly operates domestic flights in Argentina, passengers departing from or arriving at Argentine airports served by Flybondi are those most at risk.
Which flights and airports are affected?
Although the event does not specify the airports involved, here is a list of the main Argentine airports served by Flybondi:
- Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarini (EZE), Buenos Aires
- Aeropuerto Jorge Newbery (AEP), Buenos Aires
- Aeropuerto de Córdoba (COR)
- Aeropuerto de Mendoza (MDZ)
If you have booked a Flybondi flight departing from or arriving at one of these airports or other Argentine airports, the risk of cancellation is high. We recommend checking the flight status directly with the airline or through flight monitoring platforms like FlightGuard.
Passenger rights: what does EU261 regulation provide?
The European EU261 regulation protects passengers in cases of cancellations, delays, and denied boarding on flights departing from European Union airports or on flights operated by European airlines arriving in the EU. However, Flybondi is an Argentine airline operating mainly domestic or regional flights in South America, so the EU261 regulation does not directly apply to Flybondi flights.
Nonetheless, passengers still have the right to receive assistance and information from the airline regarding cancellations and options for refunds or rebooking according to local legislation and Flybondi’s policies.
If your Flybondi flight connects to or continues in Europe in a codeshare with European airlines, carefully verify your rights and compensation options.
Practical advice for passengers at the airport
If you are a passenger on a Flybondi flight, you should follow this advice:
- Check the flight status: Check via Flybondi’s official app or website and airport monitoring platforms like FlightGuard.
- Contact the airline: Request information about rebooking or refunds. Keep all receipts and communications.
- Consider alternatives: Check flights with other airlines to reach your destination. Consult departure and arrival airports for alternative flight options.
- Arrive early: In case your flight is confirmed, avoid showing up too late at the airport.
- Stay calm: Managing a cancellation is stressful, but airport staff and consumer associations can help.
Recommended alternatives
If your Flybondi flight is canceled, consider other low-cost or traditional airlines operating at the same airports, possibly with similar departures and arrivals, for example:
- Aerolineas Argentinas, Argentina’s flag carrier
- Other regional airlines based in South America
This might involve higher costs but can be the only way to avoid compromising your trip.
