Fly Lili is a Romanian airline based at Aurel Vlaicu International Airport in Bucharest.[10][5]
History
[edit]In April 2023, the company started its first regular charter flights, between Bucharest–Băneasa and Antalya.[4][11][12]
Beginning in June 2024, the company also announced it would commence scheduled flights from Brașov and Sibiu to several European destinations such as Barcelona and Rome.[13][14] However, in July 2024, Fly Lili suspended its flights to Munich and Stuttgart after only a few days while cancelling or delaying several other routes.[15] Shortly after, both operational issues due to a lack of available aircraft and a dispute between the airline and Romanian authorities regarding the registration of further aircraft have been reported.[16]
