Flybondi will incorporate two Boeing 737-800 aircraft through a wet lease (ACMI) agreement, marking what it says is the first such arrangement in Argentina's aviation history. The carrier says the Spanish-registered aircraft will operate from November 2024 to March 2025, increasing the airline's operational capacity by 13%. This arrangement was made possible by recent reforms to Argentina's Aeronautical Code, allowing foreign crews and foreign-registered aircraft to operate commercial services and Flybondi plans to resume this model for the 2025/2026 summer season. Flybondi chief Mauricio Sana states: "The addition of these two aircraft will have an impact on greater connectivity, a proposal for increased flights and also creates new opportunities for development and direct and indirect employment. ACMI is a solution in a context where there is a shortage of both aircraft and pilots."
