New route to Romania from airport

WIZZ Air has relaunched a direct route to one of Romania’s largest cities from Birmingham Airport.

The Hungarian airline is now flying to Cluj-Napoca in the north west of the country. The service is operating twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Tom Screen, acting aviation director at the airport, said: “Officially welcoming this new Wizz Air route to Cluj-Napoca from Birmingham Airport is fantastic news.

“We are constantly working with airlines to ensure that, where there is demand for a route, we can provide enough choice to be able to meet it, whether this involves the introduction of additional direct services or an increase in the frequency of services. Cluj-Napoca is an exciting addition to our growing variety of direct services.”

Tamara Vallois, head of communications at Wizz Air, added: “Our newest route from Birmingham connects the city with Romania’s second largest city, the lively Cluj-Napoca, which brings an outstanding opportunity for the travellers who seek adventure to explore real Romanian hospitality and the vibe of Transylvania.”
