Blue Air was[4] a Romanian low-cost airline headquartered in Bucharest,[8] with its hub at Henri Coandă International Airport.

[24] In March 2017, Blue Air started a base in Liverpool John Lennon Airport, operating to 8 destinations across Europe.

The airline, following a conference held at Alghero Airport in early November, announced that the Riviera del Corallo became his fourth international base of operations, after those in Torino, Liverpool and Larnaca.

[28] In that same year (2018), Civil Aviation Group (a joint venture between Moldovan investors and Blue Air) won the privatization process of Moldova's airline, Air Moldova, for the sum of 50 millions MDL (2.56 million EUR).

Civil Aviation Group took over Air Moldova's debts, worth 1.2 billion Moldovan lei (61 million euro).

[29] On 6 July 2020, Blue Air filed for bankruptcy protection after a steep decrease in revenue which was only partially balanced by a 65 Million Euro loan received as state aid from the Romanian government.

[31] On 6 September 2022, it was announced that Blue Air was forced to suspend all operations for at least six days, following the seizure of the airline's accounts by the Romanian authorities.

[1][3] On 7 September, the assets were released by the government, with Blue Air planning to resume reduced operations with just five aircraft in the near future.

[32] However, shortly afterwards, Blue Air announced the suspension of all flights until at least 10 October 2022, as the airline was currently not able to afford fuel and other services.

[13] In December 2022, Blue Air was indeed nationalized, with the Romanian state contemplating an onward sale of its confiscated 75 percent share to an investor.

[55] As of September 2022, prior to the suspension of operations, Blue Air offered flights to 75 scheduled destinations in 21 countries.
