The young airline

The airline currently operates one 8-year-old ATR 72-600 aircraft with 68 economy class seats on board. The start-up airline, created by five Romanian private investors, started operations in August 2022. It plans to operate domestic routes in Romania, as well as routes from the country’s regional airports to major airports in the surrounding area, and holiday flights.

As aviacionline.com reports, Romania’s newest airline just launched its first scheduled flights on Friday, 26 August. Bucharest-based AirConnect currently operates charter flights with a single ATR 72-600, with the first scheduled flight expected to take off on 15 October.
