At its founding, Blue Air 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 Căile Ferate Române, the Romanian rail company. Blue Air began domestic flights to Cluj Napoca International Airport from Bucharest on 29 October 2006, operated with a Boeing 737. The company was one of the cheapest air carriers at November 2006 to serve Bucharest and other Romanian cities (until other air carriers like Wizz Air, Germanwings, MyAir or EasyJet started to operate in the country).^{[citation needed]}
