Anima Wings attracts three institutional investors

Business Forum
Romanian airline Anima Wings has attracted three institutional investors as shareholders. The company signed deals with BT Asset Management, part of BT Financial Group, Winners Holding Investments and Evergent Investments.

The new investors will hold 50% of the company, while the founders remain shareholders and Marius Pandel will continue as CEO. The transaction will be completed after receiving necessary approvals from authorities and is assisted by Filip & Company and PwC Romania.

The entry of Evergent Investments into commercial aviation represents a new stage of portfolio diversification, adding an investment with significant dynamics compared to existing strategic sectors. The partnership with Anima Wings is a national project, a commitment to the Romanian economy. Anima Wings has the potential to become a local leader in the industry in which it operates.

Applying Evergent Investments' consistent investment policy of investing in Romania, we support the growth of local entrepreneurial companies that show long-term growth potential. Air transport represents one of the sectors with high growth potential nationally, supported by continuously expanding demand and the modernisation process of Romanian airport infrastructure.

Founded in 2020, Anima Wings is a 100% Romanian airline developed within Memento Group, alongside tour operator Christian Tour. The current fleet includes 7 Airbus aircraft, with plans to expand to 14 aircraft by the end of 2027.
