Argentina’s more liberalised approach is fuelling capacity growth and attracting new entrants to the market. However, IATA has stressed that the country’s government must address infrastructure concerns in order to fulfil its potential and become a regional aviation powerhouse.

Argentinian ultra low-cost start-up Flybondi is seeking to start operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 after completing a €75m funding round with major investors from the aviation industry.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has urged governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to work with industry to make infrastructure a priority in unlocking aviation’s economic and social benefits.

It has been revealed that an ultra low-cost carrier could be making its way into Argentina. Flybondi, should it be approved, hopes to serve as many as 12 destinations within the country by the third quarter of 2017.
