Overview

  • Service begins June 4, 2026, with flights on Thursdays and Sundays between Bucharest (OTP) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD).
  • Chicago becomes HiSky’s second U.S. destination after its Bucharest–New York JFK route, which has operated since June 2024.
  • HiSky says the route is designed to serve the large Romanian and Moldovan diaspora in the Chicago area.
  • No airline has offered a nonstop between Bucharest and Chicago for 24 years, marking a return of the direct link.
  • The carrier will use its single leased Airbus A330-200 for the route, with tickets on sale and advertised one-way fares from €349.99 in economy and €1,199.99 in business.
