Moldova's HiSky reports 28% more passengers in January-September
<p>Low-cost airline HiSky, with its main base in Chisinau but the largest part of its customer base in Romania, announced a record number of 1.5 million passengers served in January-September, 28% more compared to the same period of last year.</p>

<p>Romania is the main market contributing to traffic volumes, with a percentage of 64% of passengers, compared to 36% registered at the airport in the Republic of Moldova.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The most successful routes were the internal ones, connecting Romania's capital city, Bucharest, and the cities in the west of the country, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara.</p>

<p>"Oradea will become the third domestic route that we operate from October, from Bucharest," said Iulian Scorpan, CEO of HiSky, quoted by <a href="https://www.economica.net/hisky-pasageri-tarom_781551.html?mc_cid=dbe4d15fe7&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Economica.net</a>.</p>

<p>For the whole year, the company expects to reach a total number of 1.9 million passengers and narrow the gap to the national flag carrier Tarom (2.3 million passengers in 2023).&nbsp;</p>

<p>HiSky launched in June the first direct flights from Bucharest to New York after 20 years and recently announced flights from Bucharest to Paris CDG and from Oradea to London – while Tarom is giving up its routes to London as part of an attempt to break even after years of losses.</p>
