The airline has hit out at the Romanian consumer protection authority for instructing passengers not to buy its tickets.
Romanian airline Blue Air has announced today it is suspending operations. The suspension will last until September 12th, and comes after the airline had its bank accounts frozen by the Ministry of the Environment. In a statement, the airline said,
“Due to an unforeseen situation consisting in the seizure of all the accounts of the company Blue Air Aviation S.A. by the Ministry of the Environment, Blue Air is unable to pay the current costs, necessary for the operation of daily flights, which is why it is forced to suspend all flights scheduled to depart from Romanian Airports, until Monday, September 12, 2022.”
All its planned flights for today, September 6th, operating from outside of Romania to an airport in Romania, will go ahead as planned. However, any flights due to leave the country will be canceled. A quick look at FlightRadar data shows all departing Blue Air flights from Bucharest as being canceled already today.
