Bucharest Airports Keep Flights Moving in Winter Conditions

Air traffic at Bucharest’s Henri Coandă International Airport and Băneasa – Aurel Vlaicu International Airport is operating under winter conditions, with flights running according to schedule. Airport authorities confirmed that runways remain open and no weather-related cancellations have been recorded despite seasonal snowfall and low temperatures affecting the region.

Aircraft continue to land and depart safely at both airports. Flights are continuing as scheduled, although some may see short delays because of de-icing. Airlines carry out this procedure after passengers have boarded. It adds extra time on the ground, but it is necessary to ensure the aircraft can depart safely in freezing temperatures.

Airport teams are working around the clock with specialised equipment to clear runways, taxiways and nearby operational areas. Snow is being removed and surfaces treated so aircraft and ground vehicles can move safely. These are the same winter routines the airports carry out each year when temperatures drop.

For passengers travelling through Bucharest, the situation means that planned city breaks and business trips can proceed without disruption linked to airport closures. Romania’s capital remains accessible by air, with connections across Europe and beyond continuing as scheduled. Travellers heading to ski resorts or returning home for seasonal visits can expect services to operate normally.

Authorities advise passengers to arrive at the airport in good time and to check directly with their airline for the latest information about their specific flight. Minor delays linked to de-icing remain possible, but no broader disruption is expected. The update offers reassurance that winter weather is being managed without halting air travel in the capital.
