Air Bucharest, briefly rebranded to New Airlines, was a Romanian charter airline headquartered in Bucharest and based at Aurel Vlaicu International Airport.[4][1]

## History

The airline operated its first flights in 2010, utilizing an aircraft leased from Țiriac Air for charter operations.[5] The airline operated its last flights on 24 October 2022 and then suspended all operations.[citation needed]

In 2023, Fibula Air Travel acquired 50% of the company. It planned to rename it into New Airlines and replace the current planes with newer aircraft.[6] However in February 2024, these plans for a relaunch where shelved.[7] In March 2024, Air Bucharest filed for insolvency.[8]
