Argentine low-cost airline Flybondi has announced significant orders with both Boeing and Airbus, totaling up to 35 narrowbody aircraft as part of a $1.7 billion investment plan.

On November 2, 2025, Flybondi confirmed an order with Airbus for 15 A220-300 models, with an option for five additional units. Additionally, a contract with Boeing was signed for 10 737 MAX 10 aircraft, which also includes the possibility of five more.

First Operator in Latin America

Flybondi will be the first airline in Latin America to operate the Airbus A220-300s, a noteworthy milestone in regional aviation. This announcement follows Aerolíneas Argentinas’ recent plans to acquire four Airbus A330neo and 14 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

“This decision is a natural step in our vision to build the most democratic and efficient air network in the region. We aim for a balanced mix of aircraft from both manufacturers, backed by the strong commitment of our new American investor. This growth plan not only strengthens our future as a company but also boosts the regional airline industry,” stated Mauricio Sana, CEO of Flybondi.

Historic Growth Ahead

Flybondi’s Twitter account celebrated this monumental step in their operations, emphasizing the arrival of 35 new aircraft and hinting at a historic season ahead.

Sana further mentioned, “Flybondi arrived to change the way people fly in Argentina, and now we are ready to bring this model to the rest of Latin America.”

Led by COC Global Enterprise, this $1.7 billion investment aims to expedite the arrival of the new Airbus jets, expected between 2027 and 2029.

For the Boeing 737 MAX 10s, deliveries are scheduled to start in 2027 and complete by 2030, provided the aircraft receives certification.

Fleet Expansion on the Horizon

With these new acquisitions, Flybondi is poised to increase its fleet size by 230% over the next four years. Leonardo Scatturice, Chairman and CEO of COC Global Enterprise, remarked, “Our billion-dollar investment in new aircraft reaffirms our commitment to regional growth, enhancing operational capacity, generating thousands of jobs, and boosting connectivity between cities.”

The A220-300s are set to be manufactured at Airbus’s facility in Alabama, while the Boeing MAX 10s will be produced in Reston.

Current Operations

Flybondi currently operates a fleet of 15 aircraft, consisting of 14 Boeing 737-800 NGs on dry lease and one Airbus A320 in ACMI mode. Beyond Argentina, they serve destinations in Paraguay, Peru, and Brazil, flying to 16 domestic locations, including key tourist spots like Buenos Aires, Bariloche, and Iguazú.
