Discount Romanian airline HiSky will launch service between Bucharest and New York JFK on June 7.
The four-times weekly flight will be the first nonstop offering between Romania and the U.S. since Delta flew Bucharest-JFK in the summers of 2007 through 2009, Cirium flight schedule data shows.
HiSky, which began operating in 2021, will fly Bucharest-JFK with an Airbus A330-200 plane. The aircraft, which is the first widebody in the HiSky fleet, is configured with business and economy class cabins.
"This is a significant milestone for HiSky and even more so for Romania and all passengers wishing to travel across the ocean without stopovers or time wasted at other airports," CEO Iulian Scorpan said in a prepared comment.
Flight-time for Bucharest-JFK is slightly more than 10 hours.
Correction: In a previous version of this report, there was incorrect information about the last time an airline operated U.S.-Romania service.
