Animawings (stylised as AnimaWings) is a Romanian airline headquartered in Otopeni, Romania. It is based at Henri Coandă International Airport in Bucharest and operates regular and charter commercial flights. From summer of 2024, the airline began serving business and leisure destinations from 10 cities across Romania.
History
In March 2020, it was announced that Aegean Airlines had taken a 25% stake in the airline. The major part of the airline (75%) is owned by the Memento Group, a tour operator. In July 2020, the airline secured its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) and launched operations operating charter flights. In January 2021, the airline began selling tickets on its own website from 11 airports in Romania to destinations in Africa, Europe and Middle East.
In October 2021, Aegean Airlines increased its stake to 51%.
In February 2024, after eight months of negotiations, the Romanian Competition Council approved Memento Group's purchase of the shares back from Aegean, now owning 100% of the airline.
In April 2026, a consortium of BT Asset Management, Winners Holding Investments, and Evergent Investments bid to acquire a combined 50% stake of the airline. Despite pre-clearances by regulatory institutions, the deal had not been executed as it had some conditional agreements that were not fulfilled.https://universul.net/animawings-deal-falls-through-banca-transilvania-says-its-investment-fund-never-became-a-shareholder-in-the-airline/https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/financial/banca-transilvania-canceled-investment-in-insolvent-animawings/https://www.romaniajournal.ro/business/evergent-joins-bt-in-cancelling-insolvent-animawings-investment/ In September 2026, Animawings filed for protected insolvency.
