Starting from October 1 and continuing with the winter season, the schedule of flights Carpatair is modified following the move of operational bases to Western airports.
Flights from the West (Italy and Germany) to the eastern destinations (Romania, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova) will be operated in the morning, with afternoon returns. This makes me believe that Timisoara airport will no longer be the main Carpatair hub.
According to rumors, the aircraft will not stay overnight at airports in Eastern countries but at airports in the West, Italy and Germany. Let's come back with details!
I also did some research below in the 2 print screens. I chose as destination Stuttgart, Germany, departing from Timisoara. The period is 19 -26 in September, before the operational changes, and October, after the date when the new changes will take effect. I leave you to discover the differences!
25.09.2012 Update: Timisoara Airport will no longer be a hub for Carpatair, it will only be for transit!
Yes, from the catches you make it is obvious that the plane is staying on STR. Do you have any idea why this decision was made by Carpatair? I'm waiting for updates!
I am still asking at Carpatair, but I understood that it is a decision made by the big boss and there is not yet known much information about what will happen to the Timisoara hub!
From my point of view, it is not a decision that will make me happy. You will automatically have to take accommodation one night if you want to visit a western destination in a flash and it is not very financially comfortable…
It seems that the latest conflicts regarding discriminatory tariffs have led to this decision https://airlinestravel.ro/tarife-discriminatorii-pe-aeroportul-din-timisoara.html
Timisoara airport will lose a lot of money if Carpatair changes its hub.
Well it looks like he is nailed :). From October 1 the new operational changes come into force!
