Low-cost airline Wizz Air announced a major expansion of its operations in Bucharest, adding a second aircraft to its base at Băneasa Airport starting this October. The airline will relocate nine routes from Otopeni to Băneasa, five of which will be operated exclusively from the secondary airport.
At the same time, six new routes will be launched from Otopeni Airport (Henri Coandă Airport) between October 26 and 28.
From October 26, Wizz Air will operate flights to Milan Bergamo, Barcelona, Brussels-Charleroi, and Turin from both Bucharest airports, while exclusive Băneasa departures will include flights to Basel, Frankfurt, Memmingen, Nice, and Athens.
