William Pearson, Aviation Development Director, Birmingham Airport, said: “Bucharest is a bustling metropolis and a popular weekend break destination so we are delighted that Blue Air has recognised the strong business and leisure market from the Midlands. We look forward to working together to make the route a success from Birmingham over the coming months.”
Tudor Constantinescu, Chief Commercial Officer, Blue Air, said: “Since we began our first service to the UK in 2008, hundreds of thousands of people have been transported between the two countries. With the growth of the IT industry and trade between the UK and Romania, and especially Bucharest, we are now looking forward to welcoming even more passengers on this valuable route. Today’s introduction of twice-weekly flights is an important milestone for Blue Air and we expect this long-awaited Birmingham link to be among the favourites for both British and Romanian travellers.”
