Belgium, Ireland, and Spain are the countries to which Romanian passengers will be able to travel with HiSky, departing from Bucharest, starting end of this year.

By opening the new routes, the company aims to respect both its growth strategy on the Romanian market and the promise to passengers, undertaken with the opening of the operational base in Bucharest, in May of this year. The three new destinations, Brussels, Dublin and Malaga, were selected taking into account the travel needs of passengers for business and vacation purposes, but also with the desire to create a comfortable and accessible transport alternative for Romanians living and working abroad.

“We continue to pursue the company’s multi-segment growth strategy as we aim to become the leading travel option for all categories of passengers. By opening the new routes, we complete our business travel portfolio, adding Brussels as a destination, very well connected with our domestic flights, Bucharest – Cluj Napoca and Bucharest – Timișoara, and we add a new category of destinations departing from our capital to cities where significant Romanian communities live, such as Dublin and Malaga. Practically, at this moment, the Bucharest base becomes the main operating hub for HiSky and we manage to cover business traffic, city breaks, incoming tourism and the Romanian diaspora with regular routes, as well as the most popular holiday destinations, through charter flights”, explains Mareș Cărăvan, Commercial Director of HiSky Europe.

The winter schedule comes into effect starting November 28th, with the launch of the Bucharest – Brussels route, with three weekly flights, departing from Otopeni airport to the main airport in Brussels, Zaventem and return.
