Wizz Air plans to begin four new routes at Craiova International Airport on November 25, 2025, running through mid-January 2026. This expansion increases the number of direct flights available to passengers in southern Romania, linking the region to a wider range of destinations across Europe. The goal is to make travel easier by cutting down on stops at big hubs, which could save time for both business and leisure travelers.

Craiova’s role as a regional airport is getting stronger as it expands its international routes. Adding more direct routes could shorten overall travel times and make planning trips easier for passengers. By adding more routes, there is a possibility of changing travel habits as passengers gain more options beyond Bucharest airport and flights become easier to access for local residents.

As more flights leave Craiova, Paris is once again within easy reach for travelers chasing classic city breaks. The Champs-Élysées stays busy all year, thanks to its blend of big-name shops, everyday brands, and a steady flow of public events. Montmartre’s steep, cobbled streets and panoramic city views make it a lasting favorite among both visitors and Parisians alike. Boat tours on the Seine give travelers the chance to see Paris’s top landmarks from the water.

Travelers visiting Naples can walk along Lungomare Caracciolo, a scenic coastal promenade lined with numerous cafés and restaurants overlooking the bay. Spaccanapoli, a narrow street in the historic center, remains a busy corridor surrounded by local food establishments. Not far from there, Mount Vesuvius offers hiking trails and expansive views of the Gulf of Naples and surrounding countryside, attracting those interested in natural scenery.

The addition of these routes follows a wider European trend of developing secondary airports to ease pressure on major hubs. Passengers in southern Romania may benefit from easier access to major European cities as more direct flights become available. These trends may prompt a gradual shift in passenger movement and enhance regional flight access across Europe.
