Wizz Air has officially launched operations from its newly opened base at Bucharest Baneasa – Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, starting April 1st. This strategically comes with seven more routes to the airport such as daily flights to Naples, Budapest and London Luton. Additional services to Kraków and Abu Dhabi operate several times per week, offering a wider range of departure times and new travel options from a more central location in Bucharest.

The airline will further expand this network later in the year with new services to Warsaw beginning June 8th and Wroclaw starting on December 6th. These additions mark a continued investment in Romania’s air connectivity and offer travellers low-cost access to destinations across Europe and the Middle East. Fares for the new routes begin at RON 258, and tickets are already available on wizzair official website.

New Routes in Poland will give many the chance to see historical Old Town and cultural sights of Warsaw or interesting cornerstones of Wrocław's architecture along the riverside. Budapest and Naples, now served daily, offer vibrant city experiences ranging from thermal baths and historic castles to coastal walks and Italian cuisine. Travellers can also benefit from short-haul city breaks or longer length flexible flight schedules.

Abu Dhabi with longer-hauls will provide a direct link between Romanian and the Middle East. The capital of the UAE offers a striking contrast of desert landscapes and futuristic skylines. Simultaneously, daily flights to London Luton allow direct trips to the UK — this will give you the possibility of visiting family, going to events or further traveling across other places in the country via ground transport. Each destination introduces unique travel potential, both for leisure and business.

This growth turns Bucharest Baneasa into a practical start for the flyers who are looking for cheap, efficient routes that are not as crowded as at other big airports. For travellers, it means more departure options, new places to explore, and improved flexibility. Wizz Air’s latest move confirms a broader shift toward decentralised travel that puts passenger convenience at the forefront.
