Blue Air was a Romanian low-cost airline headquartered in Bucharest, with its hub at Henri Coandă International Airport. It was the largest Romanian airline by scheduled passengers flown. In 2017, Blue Air carried over 5 million passengers, a 40% increase over the 3.6 million passengers flown the previous year. As of September 2022, Blue Air served 75 scheduled destinations in 21 countries.
Blue Air was forced to suspend all operations on 6 September 2022. In November 2022, its license was suspended, and the now-dormant airline was nationalized in December 2022. In March 2023, Blue Air subsequently filed for insolvency.
