History

In April 2023, the company started its first regular charter flights, between Bucharest–Băneasa and Antalya. [4] [10] [11]

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. [12] [13] 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. [14] 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. [15]

In December 2024, Fly Lili announced the termination of all scheduled operations from Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport by 9 January 2025, citing insufficient business figures. The airline plans to focus on charter operations instead. [7]

Destinations

As of January 2025, Fly Lili operates leisure charter flights from Bucharest-Baneasa to destinations in Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia. [5] Since 2025 Fly Lili is going to operate seasonal charter flights from David Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel Aviv, Israel) to several destinations in Europe and Middle East. [16] [17] [18]
