Flybondi Employees' salaries not deposited and the company cited "administrative reasons".

• Flybondi informed its employees that it is delaying the payment of March salaries and that it still does not have a confirmed date to disburse them.
• The company attributed the situation to “administrative reasons” and assured that it is working to regularize it in the coming days.
• The delay comes amid recent flight cancellations, a voluntary retirement plan, and operational changes linked to the renegotiation of aircraft lease contracts.
• The company is seeking to reorganize its structure following the change in ownership and projects to expand its capacity in the coming years.

Flybondi, the ultra low-cost airline in Argentina, now faces a new conflict after the delay in the payment of salaries corresponding to March, a situation that generated concern among its employees.

According to some sources, the company had exceeded the legal payment deadline, up to the fourth business day, without receiving payment , which raised alarms within the company.

• The situation sparked all sorts of suspicions within the aviation sector, where Flybondi's performance is closely monitored. In recent years, the company has reported severe problems maintaining regular operations.
• Between cancellations, suspensions, passenger disputes, and technical incidents with its fleet, the airline has become the focus of criticism from the commercial aviation industry.

Through an internal message, which was revealed by journalist Norberto Dupesso, the company informed its staff:

“ Hello, Flybondiers! Due to administrative reasons, today we were unable to complete the deposit of salaries corresponding to the month of March .”

The airline stated that this is an “exceptional” occurrence and emphasized that it had never failed to pay salaries in its eight years of operation. It also indicated that it maintains dialogue with the unions and has already fulfilled the payment of crew per diems.

Later, in a press release, the company reiterated the explanation:

“ Due to administrative reasons, the deposit of salaries for the month of March could not be made within the stipulated timeframe and will be paid in the coming days . Likewise, the payment of crew per diem allowances was completed today.”

Despite these clarifications, uncertainty persists among the workers regarding the financial situation , especially after the usual deadline expired without concrete details about the payment date.

Company employees indicated that the delay not only affects salaries, but also raises doubts about the fulfillment of other financial commitments.

The conflict occurs in a context where the airline is accumulating complaints for cancellations, reschedulings and operational problems , which in some cases resulted in sanctions and complaints for breaches.

Meanwhile, Flybondi is undergoing an internal reorganization process , with changes in its management and announcements of investments to renew its fleet. 

After several twists and turns among shareholders, today Flybondi's main partner is COC Global Enterprise, a US investment fund, founded and led by the Argentine businessman Leonardo Scatturice.

However, workers warn that these measures are not yet reflected in daily operations or working conditions , which keeps both staff and the airline industry on alert.

For the time being, employees are still waiting for their salaries to be paid and for concrete answers regarding the company's situation.

To be noted here, in March 2026, Flybondi launched a voluntary retirement plan with unusual urgency, giving its approximately 1,500 employees just five business days to decide whether to join.
