Argentine low-cost carrier Flybondi is functionally weird. It lives in a paradoxical world that only makes sense if you understand not just Argentina’s aviation landscape, but also the nation’s way of life and its dynamic cultural heritage. Argentina’s low-cost aviation industry is in its infancy, especially compared to major markets like the United States or the European Union. Low-cost carriers in the nation only began to emerge in the last decade, and they have done so with very different operational objectives. Jetsmart exists as a carrier that resembles more of what we would think of as a budget airline, with convenient, cheap flights and low-frills tickets.
