The low-cost airline Wizz Air has announced it will close its base in Bacău and will relocate the available capacity to other routes with higher demand.
This measure is part of the network optimization strategy, reflecting the changing economic context, which did not allow for the base to be operated in a viable manner.
Wizz Air will continue to operate a series of routes from Bacău, including routes to London Luton and Milan Malpensa.
Wizz Air’s first flight took off from Bacău on October 29, 2020, and since then, the airline has transported nearly half a million passengers on its routes to and from Bacău.
The airline specifies that it will continue to fly from seven bases in Romania, operating over 60,000 flights per month to 22 countries.
