Wizz Air launches six new routes from Romania

Boosted Capacity and New Routes

The addition of the third aircraft will enable Wizz Air to offer more than 198,000 new seats from Timisoara next winter, a 62% increase compared to the previous winter season. The base will operate 20 routes to nine countries, with frequency increases on three existing routes. This expansion is designed to meet the rising demand for budget-friendly travel and to enhance connectivity for passengers in western Romania.

Starting October 2025, Wizz Air will launch five new routes from Timisoara, connecting passengers to Larnaca, Nuremberg, Basel, Frankfurt Hahn, and Naples. Additionally, the frequency of flights to Bari, Baden-Baden, and Dortmund will increase, with all three routes being served four times per week from October 2025.

Wizz Air’s expansion is not limited to Timisoara. The airline will also introduce a new route from Brasov to Nuremberg, operating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting October 2025. This follows the recent launch of flights from Brasov to Naples. In the upcoming winter season, Wizz Air will provide direct connections from Brasov Ghimbav International Airport to five destinations: Budapest, Dortmund, London Luton, Naples, and Nuremberg.

Wizz Air’s Growing Romanian Footprint

Since beginning operations in Romania in 2006, Wizz Air has steadily increased its investment in the country, now operating 182 routes from 13 Romanian airports and connecting passengers to 71 destinations across 24 countries. The airline has established seven operational bases in Romania-Bucharest Baneasa, Bucharest Otopeni, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova, Iasi, Sibiu, and Timisoara-and employs almost 1,500 people locally.

Commitment to Affordable and Sustainable Travel

Anastasia Novak, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, emphasized the airline’s commitment to Romania:

“Wizz Air proudly maintains a dominant position in Romania with a 50% market share, reinforcing the country’s importance as a key market in our network. As part of our ongoing growth and dedication to Romania, today we are pleased to unveil significant developments in Timisoara. These include the launch of five new routes… and the stationing of a third aircraft at our Timisoara base, aligned with our ambitious Customer First Compass, which aims at providing more low fare routes to our passengers while enhancing both the onboard experience and the communication with our customers.”
