About Blue Air ✈️
Founded in 2004, Blue Air was Romania’s first and largest low-cost airline, known for making European travel affordable and accessible. Headquartered in Bucharest, the airline operated a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft and served over 100 routes across key destinations in Europe, including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Greece.
Blue Air was recognized for its budget-friendly fares, flexible travel options, and a customer-first approach. With its "Smart Flying" motto, the airline catered to both leisure and business travelers seeking reliable service without the high costs of traditional carriers.
At its peak, Blue Air carried millions of passengers annually and was a preferred choice for Eastern European travelers.
However, due to financial challenges and operational disruptions, Blue Air suspended all flights in September 2022 and filed for insolvency in 2023. While the airline is no longer operating, its legacy as a pioneer in Romanian low-cost aviation remains significant.
