In 2024, the Bees brand was revived under a Romanian Aviation Certificate (AOC) based in Bucharest, Romania. At the moment, the Ukrainian branch of the Bees brand is suspended until the end of the military conflict in the country and the re-opening of Ukrainian airspace. Bees announced it would launch several scheduled routes from Bucharest, Suceava and Chișinău to destinations in Greece, Italy, Germany and Israel in the summer of 2024, using the Airbus A320 YR-BUZ, unlike the previous business model which relied exclusively on the B737-800.
