Blue Air will launch Bucharest-London flights in autumn

Low-cost airline company, Blue Air, will launch flights on the Bucharest-London route starting this autumn, with the flights scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the Romanian operator announced. “The Stansted airport, located 56 km from London is the focal point for many fast-access means of transport to the capital city centre and nearby towns, with a train station included on one of the airport’s lower levels,” say representatives at Blue Air. The autumn will also see Blue Air introduce a new foreign destination-Stuttgart- with flights planned from both Bucharest and Arad. Blue Air reported a 50 million-euro turnover last year, double the level against 2005 and targets revenues worth 80 million euros this year. The number of passengers also increased from 240,000 in 2005, to 435,000 in 2006, whilst this year Blue Air wants to attain a target of 800,000 passengers.
