Romanian carrier AnimaWings has had its insolvency request officially approved after submitting the petition twice. The airline filed its initial request for judicial reorganisation and insolvency at the Bucharest Tribunal on 30 September 2026 after being forced to ground its newly leased Airbus A220 fleet due to recurring technical issues. The court rejected this first application on 14 October 2026 because the paperwork was deemed incomplete.
The airline quickly resubmitted its petition on 20 October 2026. On 28 October 2026 the Bucharest Tribunal approved the second request, officially opening the insolvency and court-supervised restructuring proceedings.
Following the approval AnimaWings appointed a consortium of administrators to manage its debts and extended the complete suspension of all its scheduled flights through 31 December 2026. The carrier operates a fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft.
