History
editEstablished in 2023, the airline initially said on its website that it would operate charter flights to Asia, Europe and Africa.[2]
In March 2024 it was announced that Bees Airlines has passed all necessary procedures and obtained the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) that allows the airline to start its operational activity.[5]
Since then, the airline has expanded, with new scheduled routes to commence in August 2024.[2]
Despite sharing the same name and branding as the former Ukrainian LCC Bees Airline, which ceased operations following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and since had its AOC revoked—the Romanian carrier confirmed that it has different investors and management.[6]
