Low cost airline Flybondi starts its activities in Buenos Aires at El Palomar Airport
Flybondi launched its Ticket 3.0 yesterday (March 29), which allows passengers to change details like passenger name, destination or date, and says it "eliminates the usual restrictions" on a plane ticket. Passengers can make the changes themselves, using a program developed by the firm TravelX at a cost of U.S. $7 million. The new tickets were already available on domestic routes.
Greater freedom to fly?
With Flybondi's new product, the passenger is buying a ticket in principle or effectively as travel credit, even before making plans. The firm's CEO Mauricio Sana says: "We're trying to make a positive impact in the air travel industry, through innovation and use of blockchain technology. Changing the rules of the game is never easy, but we know our objective is to evolve and offer our passengers a new phase in the freedom to fly."
He added that this was an "unprecedented product, unique in the world, which will transform travel as we know it and give people greater freedom when they want to fly."
Flybondi has been operating in Argentina for some five years, and was the country's first low-cost airline.
