Romanian low-cost air carrier Blue Air has announced the suspension of all flights out of Romania until September 12 after the environment ministry blocked its bank accounts for failing to pay a fine, making payments to suppliers impossible.
Blue Air, which entered a debt restructuring agreement in 2020 due to losses incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, made the announcement on Tuesday. The airline operates flights out of Bucharest and the cities of Bacau, Cluj and Iasi.
