Overview
- AnimaWings announced a court‑supervised Sanierungsverfahren on 30 September and then suspended all flights scheduled from 2 to 24 October, citing the need to stabilise operations.
- The suspension cancels routes between Romania and Germany, including reported services such as Munich–Bucharest and Frankfurt–Cluj‑Napoca, disrupting bookings for many travellers.
- The airline says technical problems reduced aircraft availability: it lists six Airbus A220‑300 and two A320 but recently had only the two A320 operational, and media reports say several A220s were returned to lessors after engine issues.
- Reported creditor pressure is rising, with local outlets citing about 11.5 million lei owed to Romania’s tax authority, collection steps by airports and operators, and more than 11,000 passenger claims pending.
- A court hearing is set for 14 October to consider the restructuring and the carrier plans a limited restart with a revised winter schedule from 25 October that will depend on available aircraft and court approval; passengers should expect email cancellations and possible delays in refunds.
