PERU Flixbus will be entering the Peruvian market in 2025, further expanding its presence in Latin America where the company already operates in Brazil and Chile and has previously announced plans to launch in Mexico.
“Latin America presents a tremendous opportunity for us,” said co-founder and CEO André Schwämmlein. “With limited
rail infrastructure and flights connecting only major cities, buses are the backbone of transportation. The market, worth around €18 billion, is more than four times the size of North America and Europe combined. Our success in Brazil and Chile proves that our model works. With Peru and Mexico, we are now taking the next step.”
Flix has been operating in Latin America since 2021. In Brazil, the company has expanded its network from 27 to over 100 cities in three years, and in Chile now connects 14 cities across eight regions.
Augusto Abarca will lead the local team, working with SME bus companies all over the country. “I’m excited to bring Flix to my home country and transform the long-distance bus market,” he said. “We will offer the best value-for-money, providing customers with a reliable service and a superior, digital booking experience. Our goal is to build a nationwide network.”
