In addition to the existing flights to Naples (Italy), Krakow (Poland), Abu Dhabi (UAE), Budapest (Hungary), and London Luton (UK), the airline will introduce two new routes from Bucharest Băneasa to Poland: Warsaw on June 8 and Wroclaw on December 6. Tickets are already on sale on wizzair.com and the airline’s mobile app, with prices starting from 248 RON.
With its second base in the capital inaugurated today and an additional aircraft set to operate from Bucharest Otopeni starting August 1, these operational developments aim to significantly enhance connectivity between Romania and other destinations across Europe and beyond.
Nearly 913,000 seats have been added to the airline’s 2025 summer schedule in Bucharest, marking a 22% increase compared to the same period last year.
Additionally, a new aircraft based at Bucharest Otopeni will start serving three new routes this summer: Gran Canaria (Spain), from June 17, Frankfurt Hahn (Germany), from August 1, and Friedrichshafen (Germany), from August 2. Tickets start at EUR29.99. The airline will also increase the frequency of nine existing routes, including Dortmund, Memmingen, Stuttgart, Nice, Basel, Madrid, Málaga, Lyon, and Pisa.
“With a 51% market share in Romania, we are excited to expand our network and launch a new base at Bucharest Baneasa today. This summer, we are proud to add nearly 913,000 additional seats, marking a 22% capacity growth in Bucharest compared to last year. This is the first step toward reaching an annual capacity of over 8 million seats. Operating 67 routes to 22 countries from both Bucharest airports, we continue to grow as part of our ‘WIZZ 500’ strategy, supporting the Romanian economy and local job market while strengthening our leadership in the country,” Mauro Peneda, Managing Director of Wizz Air Malta, said at the inauguration of the Bucharest Baneasa base.
