Passengers urged to confirm departure changes for a smooth travel experience
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the ultra-low-cost national carrier of the UAE, has announced a major shift in its Bucharest operations for 2025.
From January 15th, 2025, the airline will relocate three popular routes from Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport to the more centrally located Bucharest Băneasa - Aurel Vlaicu International Airport.
This strategic move is designed to provide passengers with easier access to the heart of Romania's capital and reduce travel times, ensuring a smoother and more convenient experience for travellers.
Why the change?
This change reflects Wizz Air’s ongoing commitment to enhancing passenger convenience and improving connectivity. With its proximity to the city centre, Băneasa Airport is set to make Bucharest travel even more accessible. The airline is excited to offer travellers a chance to explore the Romanian capital and other top destinations like Cluj-Napoca, famed for its historical landmarks, vibrant culture, and scenic landscapes.
New routes and timings
The routes affected by this change include:
| ROUTE | DAYS OF OPERATION | EFFECTIVE DATE |
| Krakow - Bucharest | Monday, Wednesday, Friday | 15 January, 2025 |
| Naples - Bucharest | Daily | 15 January, 2025 |
| Abu Dhabi - Bucharest | Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday | 30 March, 2025 |
Starting from January 15, 2025, Wizz Air’s flights between Krakow and Bucharest, and Naples and Bucharest, will operate from Băneasa Airport. Then, from March 30, 2025, the Abu Dhabi-Bucharest route will also be moved to the new location. Passengers on these routes should check their email for confirmation of their new departure or arrival airport.
