Flybondi has started operating from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) serving Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires after transferring operations from the city’s Ministro Pistarini International (EZE).
All 12 domestic routes have been switched to AEP, located some 40 km north of the main international gateway EZE, also known as Ezeiza. Flybondi CEO Mauricio Sana said the move was “good news for our passengers and for the entire team.”
“Once installed in Aeroparque, we want to focus on continuing to grow our fleet and frequencies to the destinations we currently fly,” Sana said.
“This airport allows us to maintain a strong commitment to the country’s connectivity and to be able to offer customers a simple and close travel experience, with the most convenient rates on the market.”
Flybondi has resumed domestic flights in Argentina after backtracking on a decision not to transfer Buenos Aires operations to Ministro Pistarini International (EZE) while El Palomar (EPA) remains closed.
The ULCC has started 12 routes from the capital’s largest airport, connecting the city with Puerto Iguazú, San Carlos de Bariloche and Tucumán among others. The services are the airline’s first since April when the country’s aviation industry shut down to control the spread of COVID-19.
Prior to the pandemic, flybondi’s Buenos Aires hub was at EPA, a commercial and military airport located to the west of the city. However, the Argentinian government has so far prevented EPA from reopening, citing health and safety issues.
