The increase was largely due to inaugurating 25 new routes between March and June 2016. Blue Air currently operates 70 internal and external routes, the company said in a statement Thursday.
In January-June 2016, the airline operated 7,000 flights, compared with 3,188 in the same period in 2015. Blue Air’s fleet currently includes 26 aircrafts, compared with nine aircrafts in 2014.
The company has five operating bases in Bucharest, Bacau, Iasi, Larnaca and Turin, and, starting October, it will also have an operating base in Cluj-Napoca.
The company has become a full member of IATA (International Air Transport Association) at the beginning of 2016, after being awarded the IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Assessment) certification for the highest safety standards.
