Moldovan startup HiSky has opened a base in Romania’s northwestern city of Cluj-Napoca, from where it plans to launch two routes starting in April.
The airline intends to fly from Avram Iancu Cluj International (CLJ) to Dublin (DUB) on April 22, serving Ireland’s capital 2X-weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. Flights to Lisbon (LIS) in Portugal will start three days later, with the route set to operate 2X-weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays.
HiSky will compete on the service to DUB with Romanian LCC Blue Air, which plans to offer 3X-weekly flights during the summer 2021 season using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. However, the route to LIS will become CLJ’s first direct flights to the Portuguese capital.
