Romanian airline AnimaWings is strengthening its presence on the European market by officially inaugurating the direct Bucharest – Munich route and rapidly expanding its network of scheduled flights to major continental hubs. The operator, part of Memento Group, is implementing an accelerated growth strategy, aiming to reach a total of 56 destinations and expand its fleet to 18 aircraft by the end of 2027.
The new connection to Munich is operated with a frequency of six flights per week, except Saturdays, with a schedule adapted for business and leisure travel through morning and evening rotations. This route adds to the recent launches to Geneva (three weekly flights) and London Gatwick (six weekly flights). The expansion calendar for the upcoming period includes new direct flights from Bucharest to Milan Malpensa, scheduled from May 11, as well as routes from Timișoara and Cluj to Athens, starting April 5. The average flight duration varies between 2 hours and 10 minutes for Munich and 2 hours and 50 minutes for Geneva.
Operational evolution is supported by fleet modernization, with the company receiving its fourth latest-generation Airbus A220-300 aircraft in the first part of March. Currently, AnimaWings operates four Airbus A220-300 units and two Airbus A320 aircraft. Founded in 2020 by brothers Cristian and Marius Pandel, the company integrates air transport services with the expertise of the Christian Tour tour operator. The operator’s extensive network already includes established destinations such as Paris (CDG), Stockholm (Arlanda), and Istanbul (IST).
