The airline currently flies from Bucharest (Aurel Vlaicu International Airport) to the following destinations^{[citation needed]} :

From Arad:

Valencia (Valencia Airport), Spain

From Bacău:

Cuneo (Cuneo Levaldigi Airport), Italy
Rome (Ciampino Airport), Italy

From Cluj Napoca:

At its founding, it also operated a domestic Bucharest-Timişoara flight, though this was discontinued in March 2005 due to low demand and competition from TAROM as well as rail travel. Blue Air began domestic flights to Cluj Napoca International Airport from Bucharest on 29 October 2006, operated with a Boeing 737. The newest Blue Air destination is Malaga in Spain. Also the Targu Mures - Valencia service was replaced with the brand new Cluj Napoca - Valencia service.^{[citation needed]}

The company is by far the cheapest air carrier as of November 2006 to service Bucharest and other Romanian cities. It frequently offers deals on well-traveled routes whereby one can purchase tickets to major European cities in a fairly open window of time for only 1 or 2 euros plus tax. Blue Air offers free tickets from Cluj to Bucharest and back if one purchases a roundtrip ticket from Bucharest to any other city outside of Romania, giving those from Cluj the same destinations at the same price as those from the capital.^{[citation needed]}
