BLUE AIR TAKES THE PROTECTIVE MEASURE OF CONCORDAT PROCEDURE “Despite the temporary difficulties caused by the suspension of flights due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we, at Blue Air, are determined to continue flying, to honour all our commitments and to pay all our debts,” says Oana Petrescu, CEO of Blue Air In addition, to ensure the smooth resumption of scheduled flights and fulfil all obligations to its passengers, employees and partners, Blue Air Aviation S.A. resorted to the preventive concordat procedure. Thus, with the resumption of the normal flight schedule, Blue Air will be able to cover all the amounts necessary for the timely and safe operation of these flights. Regarding the direct losses generated by the pandemic, they will be covered by the state aid approved by the Romanian Government through the Memorandum adopted on April 23, 2020, and the debts to suppliers will be paid in instalments, according to the schedule to be agreed in the concordat procedure.
