Romania’s Air Connect shelves Dubrovnik service

NEWS FLASH


Romanian carrier Air Connect has discontinued flights between Bucharest and Dubrovnik launched last month. The service was initially scheduled to operate once per week, each Sunday, with the ATR72-600 aircraft until the end of the summer season in late October. However, the flights were in operation for just two weeks and have since been discontinued. Ticket sales for the route have also been suspended. There are currently no scheduled flights between Dubrovnik and the Romanian capital.

      Air Connect is still operating its own flights in addition to Aeroitalia. You can purchase tickets from Bucharest on their website. They dropped DBV because of poor sales and the company is generally in shambles. They just announced they are moving all their flights to Bucharest's other airpprt.

      Apparently they want to operate under one brand. What I do know is that everything about the acquisition will be completed at the end of July. Apparently it is moving to Baneasa because Aeroitalia operates from there.

      Yes, Ljubljana would be amazing choice for them because we all know here that Ljubljana is attracting million of visitiors, much more in summer compared to Dubrovnik. I cant believe so many airlines worldwide are missing the opportunity to fly to Ljubljana and make millions.

      What a stupid comment… Bucharest is one of the busiest unserved routes from Ljubljana. And noone is rushing to Dubrovnik year round… only 3 months ;)

      Many of these airlines in Romania are only ACMI carriers. However, I recognize Hi Sky - a decent substitute for Blue Air. But Dan and Air Connect are not serious.

    Let's be honest. this route never made sense. It was overly ambitious from day 1.
