HiSky will launch direct flights between Bucharest and Chicago in June 2026, expanding its transatlantic network two years after introducing its New York route. The service resumes a direct link suspended 24 years ago, the company said. The new route will be operated twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, with the first flight scheduled for June 4. The Bucharest–Chicago flight will take 10 hours and 50 minutes westbound and 9 hours and 50 minutes on the return. In 2024, the airline launched its first transatlantic route to New York, offering five weekly frequencies from Henri Coandă International Airport.
