Animawings introduced over a dozen new routes
Animawings began operations in 2021. Initially partially owned by tour operator Momento Group and Greece’s Aegean Airlines, the latter sold all its shares to Momento in February 2024.
Animawings took delivery of its first two A220-300s in December 2024 and, along with its A320, plans to add another 14 new routes this year. In January it launched operations between Bucharest and Cluj, while in March it commenced operations from the Romanian capital to Oradea, Paris CDG and Iasi.
Apart from Stockholm ARN, it will also introduce operations this summer from Bucharest to Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Larnaca, and Nice, from Brasov, Cluj and Oradea to Heraklion, as well as from Timisoara to Corfu, Palma de Mallorca and Zakynthos.
The airline is due to take delivery of additional A220-300s, A320neos and A320ceos to support its growing network.
