Bankrupt Animawings Keeps Its Fleet Grounded and Extends Flight Suspension to Dec. 31

BUCHAREST, Nov. 7, 2026 — Romanian carrier Animawings, now in court-supervised insolvency, has extended its suspension of all flights through Dec. 31, 2026.

Where things stand

Animawings filed for insolvency at the Bucharest Tribunal at the end of September; the court approved it on Oct. 28.
Its last scheduled flight was on Oct. 2, 2026. The suspension was first meant to last about two weeks, was extended to Nov. 15 and now runs to Dec. 31.
Debts exceed RON 157 million (about US$33 million), owed to 25 creditors including ROMATSA, Bucharest Airports, several cities and banks.
All six of its leased Airbus A220-300s are grounded because of recurring problems with their Pratt & Whitney engines.
A court administrator is overseeing a plan to return the airline to profitability. A restart date: TBA.

What it means for non-revs

Do not plan any travel on Animawings this year.
The grounding shows how Pratt & Whitney engine problems on the A220 can sideline a small carrier’s entire fleet.
