Low-cost carrier Wizz Air is restructuring its operational network in Romania, and is set to eliminate six connections from the airports in Bucharest, Craiova, and Timișoara. The decision, reported by the publication BoardingPass, includes both the suspension of active routes and the cancellation of planned flights that were never launched.
According to data from economiedia.ro, the most unexpected decision concerns the “Traian Vuia” International Airport in Timișoara, where the operator has completely abandoned the scheduled route to Birmingham (United Kingdom) before its debut on May 21, 2026. Additionally, Craiova Airport will lose its direct connection to Memmingen (Germany) starting at the end of June 2026.
In the capital, the decision affects four routes operated from Otopeni and Băneasa airports. Bucharest – Bratislava flights will end on June 29, 2026, and the route to Paris Orly will be eliminated after August 9, 2026, with only flights to Beauvais being maintained. At the same time, the connection to Pescara (Italy) will be withdrawn at the end of the 2026 summer season, and flights to Wrocław (Poland) from Băneasa Airport will be suspended at the end of October 2026. Company representatives attribute these cancellations to strategic fleet optimization and passenger demand.
