Direct Bucharest-Chicago flights were suspended 24 years ago, the airline added.
HiSky was established in the Republic of Moldova and Romania in 2021 by Iulian Scorpan, a pilot and former manager of the national airline Air Moldova, and Victor Sula, a specialist in the financial-banking sector.
The Bucharest-Chicago flight will be operated twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. The first flight is scheduled for June 4, 2026. The duration of the flight is 10 hours and 50 minutes, and the return flight is 9 hours and 50 minutes.
HiSky reached the five million passengers carried milestone in June. The airline has a fleet of eight Airbus aircraft and operates scheduled flights from seven airports in Romania and the Republic of Moldova – Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Oradea, Iasi, Baia Mare and Chisinau – to destinations in Europe, the Middle East and North America, as well as charter flights to major vacation destinations in Europe, Asia and Africa.
