HiSky is a Moldovan low-cost airline group founded in 2019 in Chișinău, Moldova, operating through two affiliated entities: HiSky SRL, with its main base at Chișinău Eugen Doga International Airport, and HiSky Europe SRL, a Romanian carrier with its main base at Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport.
01History
HiSky was founded in 2019 by CEO Iulian Scorpan, a former pilot and director of Air Moldova, alongside Victor Sula, a specialist in the financial and banking sector. HiSky Europe SRL, the Romanian affiliate established in 2020, is jointly owned by Scorpan and Tatiana Mihailiuc.
In February 2020, the Moldovan aviation authorities stated that HiSky had not been granted an air operator's certificate due to irregularities found during the certification process, and that an investigation had been launched. One of the issues noted was that Cobrex Trans, the airline which was supposed to operate Airbus A320 aircraft on behalf of HiSky, did not have this aircraft type in its fleet yet. As of 12 May 2020, HiSky was still not licensed for commercial operation, while already selling tickets on its website. The airline obtained its Romanian operating certificate in December 2020 and its Moldovan certificate on 19 February 2021.
On 22 February 2021, HiSky announced its first scheduled routes from Cluj-Napoca to Dublin and Lisbon.
HiSky operated its first commercial flight on 5 March 2021 between Chișinău and Hurghada, Egypt, having delayed its planned 2020 launch multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From April 2021, the airline expanded its scheduled network with new routes connecting Baia Mare, Chișinău, Frankfurt, Iași, Paris Beauvais and Satu Mare.
In June 2024, HiSky Europe launched a direct service between Bucharest and New York JFK using an Airbus A330, representing the airline's inaugural transatlantic service and the first direct Romania-United States flight in 21 years, after TAROM discontinued the route in 2003.
