History

The company's CEO, Iulian Scorpan, is a former pilot of Air Moldova.[3]

In February 2020, the Moldavian aviation authorities stated that HiSky currently was not granted an air operator's certificate due to irregularities found during the certification process, and that an investigation has been launched.[4] One of the issues noted is that Cobrex Trans, the airline which was supposed to operate Airbus A320s on behalf of HiSky, does not have this aircraft type in its fleet yet.[4][5]

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of Moldova, as of 12 May 2020 HiSky was still not licensed for commercial operation.[6] At the same time, the company was offering tickets for flights originating from Chisinau over its own website. The airline had then stated its plans to launch flights in July with two Airbus A320 family aircraft from Air Lease Corporation.[7]

HiSky was forced to delay their route launches several times in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.[1][8] As of 18 September 2020, the airline removed their planned schedule entirely.[9]

Destinations

After several delays due to the Coronavirus pandemic, HiSky plans to serve the following destinations without stating an exact date anymore:[1][8][9]

Additional routes to Lisbon,[8] Düsseldorf[1] and Bologna[1] had been announced but cancelled again ahead of their launch.
