Romanian low-cost air carrier Blue Air has announced the suspension of all flights out of Romania until September 12 after the environment ministry blocked its bank accounts for failing to pay a fine, making payments to suppliers impossible.

Blue Air operates a network predominantly connecting Romania with points in Europe, as well as a small number of Italian domestic routes from Turin. The airline says its Italian domestic flights will continue to operate as normal.

All Blue Air flights from Bucharest to London Heathrow, together with the return legs, are shown as cancelled up to 11 September.

The airline also served Birmingham, Liverpool and Luton. The airline operates flights out of Bucharest and the cities of Bacau, Cluj and Iasi.
