Nov 24, 2021 (newstodate): Having obtained its AOC in October 2021, the new Romanian carrier Rom Cargo Airlines is now in the air.
   The carrier has registered the first Boeing 747 aircraft in Romania - a Boeing 747-400BCF earlier operated by Thai Airways Cargo.
   The aircraft lifted off on its first assignment from Liege to Baku on November 22, 2021, and is now operating a cargo charter flight from Shanghai to Bucharest, in Romania.  
   Earlier named Fly Sky Romania, the carrier has been established by the Moldovan carrier Aerotranscargo, operating also under the brand name of Fly Sky.   
   The Moldovan mother company will eventually transfer two Boeing 747-400 freighters to Romania, allowing the company to operate as an EU carrier.   
   With the latest revision of the EU Blacklist, all of Moldova's carriers, except for Air Moldova, Fly One and Aerotranscargo, are banned from the EU airspace.
