Flybondi continues with its 2X Plan, announced in December 2021, to reaffirm its position as the second most important airline in Argentina in terms of passenger movement and fleet.

The ultra-low-cost closed 2021 with 887,532 passengers, a 59% recovery compared to the same period of 2019 when it had mobilized 1,513,927 travelers. Although the last quarter of last year represented the first real growth since the beginning of the pandemic, exceeding by 4.93% the number of customers mobilized compared to 2019.
