In late October 2026, two separate bomb threats involving JetSmart flights caused security disruptions at Argentine airports.

On October 20, Almirante Zar Airport in Trelew was evacuated and operations were suspended after a passenger on a flight from Buenos Aires made comments regarding an explosive device. Security forces inspected the aircraft and terminal, finding no explosives. The individual involved claimed the remark was a joke, and operations normalized by 19:00.

On October 28, a similar incident occurred at Resistencia International Airport. A passenger made a verbal threat during the boarding of a flight to Buenos Aires, prompting the Airport Security Police to deploy explosives specialists and K9 units. Following a search of the aircraft, luggage, and terminal, no suspicious items were located. The passenger was placed under investigation by Federal Prosecutor 1 of Resistencia for alleged public intimidation, and flight operations resumed around 1:00 AM on October 29.
