The airline HiSky is expanding its operations from its base in Bucharest, adding three new routes. Thus, HiSky reaches four international destinations and two domestic destinations operated from Bucharest Otopeni airport. Belgium, Ireland and Spain are the countries to which Romanian passengers will be able to travel with HiSky, from the capital, from the end of this year.
HiSky is expanding its operational program from Bucharest
By opening the new routes, the company aims to respect both its growth strategy on the Romanian market and the promise to passengers, assumed 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 from 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, with the destination Brussels, very well connected with our domestic flights, Bucharest – Cluj Napoca and Bucharest – Timișoara, and we add a new category of destinations departing from the capital to cities where important people live Romanian communities, 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.
