The Romanian low-cost airline Blue Air is postponing the resumption of numerous routes between Germany and Bucharest or Cluj by around two months. Also, some routes will initially be served to a lesser extent than originally announced.
Offers from Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Stuttgart, Frankfurt am Main and Munich airports are affected. With one exception, the routes are pausing or have not yet been (re)recorded. This will also take some time.
Ab Munich Blue Air wanted to serve the Bucharest route daily again as of April 1, 2022. Although these will be reactivated on April 2, 2022, they will initially only fly three times a week. Currently, the carrier plans to switch to daily on June 8, 2022.
In Stuttgart Blue Air will temporarily reduce the offer to Bucharest in the calendar months of April and May 2022 to five weekly flights. The Cluj route will not resume on April 1, 2022, but only on June 11, 2022.
Also in Cologne / Bonn the carrier makes changes. From April 3, 2022, the number of flights to Bucharest will be smaller than originally announced. Initially, Blue Air will only fly once a week, but will increase to four weekly rotations as of June 10, 2022. The Cluj route was immediately postponed to June 10, 2022.
The newly announced route of Düsseldorf to Bucharest is not picked up with five rotations per week, but with only three rotations. From May 2022, flights will be scheduled five times a week.
Also from Germany's largest airport, Frankfurt am Main, there is a change. Instead of daily flights, Blue Air will initially fly to Bucharest six times a week. As of June 5, 2022, this is to be increased to daily.
Blue Air confirmed the flight plan changes made and justified them, in short, with the usual adjustments that are made regularly. The question of whether it was due to demand was not answered.
