The decision of the Bucharest Court of Law to open insolvency proceedings for Blue Air airline, challenged by the air operator as early as Friday, has already cost the company customers, say Blue Air officials, who claim this is an attack on the company's image.
The Bucharest Court of Law published on Friday afternoon on its website the decision to open insolvency proceedings against low-cost airline Blue Air, controlled by Nelu Iordache, following the petition filed as early as in March by air operator Carpatair and by Service Excellence Solutions, over debts of 30,000 euros and 48,000 euros respectively.
Blue Air officials promptly challenged the decision and said debts to Carpatair and to Service Excellence Solutions had been paid, which does not explain the decision of the Court of Law. Carpatair representatives confirmed the payment of the debt as early as in March.
Florentina Ivan, communication manager of Blue Air, says no flight has been cancelled, with the company continuing to operate according to its regular schedule.
