Wizz Air expands Bucharest network — New Planes, New Routes, and a Whole Lot of Airport Hopping
Brace yourselves, Romania — Wizz Air is cranking things up a notch (or six). The low-cost legend just announced a major boost to its Bucharest operations, including more planes, more destinations, and a bit of an airport shuffle that’ll keep even the most seasoned traveler on their toes.
First up: Baneasa Airport is getting a glow-up with a second Wizz Air aircraft joining the party. That means 42 flights a week zooming out of the city’s secondary airport — perfect for those of us who like our check-ins fast and our cab rides short.
But the real headline? Six brand new routes from Otopeni Airport landing this October. Say hello to Brindisi Italy, Cologne Germany, Gdansk Poland, Porto Portugal, Pescara Italy, and Bratislava Slovakia — all the charm, none of the sticker shock, with fares starting from just RON 79. That’s cheaper than a fancy coffee and definitely more exciting than another weekend at the mall.

Here’s Where Things Get Interesting
Wizz Air is also mixing up its airport strategy like it’s playing aviation Tetris. Starting October 26:
Flights to Milan Bergamo, Barcelona, Brussels-Charleroi, and Turin will run from both Baneasa and Otopeni. Double the options, double the chance of accidentally showing up at the wrong terminal.
Routes to Basel, Frankfurt Hahn, Memmingen, Nice, and Athens? They’re moving exclusively to Baneasa. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Why the reshuffle? Wizz Air’s making room to grow, and Baneasa’s more than happy to help out.
The Bigger Picture? Wizz Air Isn’t Playing Around
The airline now serves a whopping 204 routes from Romania, across 13 airports, and keeps over 1,600 people gainfully employed — probably including that super cheerful flight attendant who always claps when you land.
This expansion isn’t just about more flights — it’s a clear sign that Bucharest is a big deal, and Wizz Air is doubling down on its mission: low fares, smart airports, and more purple planes wherever they’ll fit.
So, whether you’re heading to the beach in Pescara or plotting a bratwurst-fueled escape to Cologne, Wizz Air’s got you (and your travel budget) covered this autumn.
