Wizz Air resumes the Bucharest–Cluj-Napoca route after eight years, with up to two daily flights

Wizz Air will resume direct flights between Bucharest Otopeni and Cluj-Napoca on December 18, 2026, after an eight-year hiatus. The route will be operated with up to two daily frequencies, and tickets are already available, with fares starting at 199 lei.

Flights will operate from Cluj International Airport with up to 12 frequencies per week. From Monday to Friday, two flights per day will be scheduled, while one flight per day will operate at weekends. Between December 18, 2026, and January 10, 2027, the schedule with two daily flights will be available only on certain days due to the winter holiday period.

The Bucharest–Cluj-Napoca route is currently also served by TAROM and HiSky, with Wizz Air set to become the third airline operator. The route is the most frequently used scheduled destination from Cluj International Airport. In 2025, more than 366,000 passengers travelled between the two cities, while in the first ten months of 2026, traffic exceeded 300,000 passengers, representing approximately 10% of the airport’s traffic.

Representatives of Wizz Air and Cluj International Airport say that the resumption of the route will strengthen connectivity between the capital and one of the country’s main economic centres and provide passengers with more travel options.
