Wizz Air transported around 14.5 million passengers to and from Romania in 2025, up 13.1% compared to the previous year, as the airline strengthened its presence on the local market. According to the company, Romania remained a key growth market in 2025, with eight new aircraft allocated to local airports over the past year.<\/p>\n

The additional capacity supported the reopening of the Bucharest B\u0103neasa and Suceava bases, alongside continued fleet development in Bucharest Otopeni, Craiova, Sibiu, and Timi\u0219oara.<\/p>\n

During last year, Wizz Air operated approximately 75,000 scheduled flights across Romania and launched more than 50 new routes from nine Romanian airports.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the group level, the airline operated around 335,000 scheduled flights across its network in 2025 and launched more than 320 new routes. It carried a total of 68.6 million passengers last year, representing a 9.4% increase compared to 2024.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to 2026, Wizz Air plans to launch more than 30 routes from 10 airports in Romania. It will reopen its base in T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219<\/a> this spring and begin operations from Oradea, further expanding its domestic footprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since starting operations in Romania in 2006, Wizz Air has steadily increased investments in the country, which it considers a strategic market. Currently, the airline offers 238 routes from 14 Romanian airports, connecting passengers to 83 destinations in 27 countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over its 19 years of activity in Romania, Wizz Air has established nine operational bases and now employs more than 1,600 people locally.<\/p>\n
