Animawings files for creditor protection and cuts its schedule
Hit by recurring fleet technical problems and airport debts, Romanian carrier Animawings enters court-supervised restructuring while continuing limited operations with two aircraft.
Romanian airline Animawings has filed for creditor protection with the court in Bucharest, initiating a formal judicial restructuring procedure. The carrier intends to keep operating during this restructuring phase and plans to maintain as many of its scheduled services as possible.
To explain this move, Animawings points to recurring technical malfunctions across its fleet, which have increasingly impacted its flight operations, commercial reliability, and overall finances. As a result, the airline is adjusting its flight schedule for October 2026, leading to numerous flights being canceled, postponed, or suspended.
Flight operations are set to continue using only the two available Airbus A320 aircraft. Meanwhile, media reports highlight outstanding financial claims against the airline from several airport operators located in Romania and Greece.
