Moldovan start-up HiSky led by former chief of flag-carrier

Former Air Moldova chief Iulian Scorpan is heading up a private start-up budget carrier, branded HiSky, for the Central European republic. While all Moldovan carriers, with the exception of Air Moldova, FlyOne and Aerotranscargo, are blacklisted, the start-up will be formed through a partnership with a Romanian operating carrier, Cobrex Trans, based in Brasov. Cobrex Trans is listed in the Romanian civil aviation authority’s operator registry as having a single Boeing 737-300 and an Airbus Helicopters. But HiSky says it intends to commence operations with a pair of Airbus A320s. The airline will begin services April 10. It is planning to start flights on a network of 6 European destinations including London, Paris, Dublin, Lisbon, Bologna and Dusseldorf. <br/>
