Following the Bucharest Tribunal’s rejection of its insolvency application on October 14, Romanian airline AnimaWings has extended its total suspension of flight operations until November 15, 2026. The airline had originally planned to resume services on October 25 with its winter schedule. However, the carrier now states that scheduled flights through mid-November will be cancelled in stages. Affected passengers are expected to receive notifications regarding their options via email. AnimaWings’ fleet, which includes Airbus A220 and A320 aircraft, remains grounded at various locations.
