Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air has announced the relaunch of a direct route to Romania’s Cluj-Napoca from Birmingham Airport.
The new service will operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Tom Screen, Acting Aviation Director at Birmingham Airport, said: ‘Officially welcoming this new Wizz Air route to Cluj-Napoca from Birmingham Airport is fantastic news. We are constantly working with airlines to ensure that where there is demand for a route we can provide enough choice to be able to meet it – whether this involves the introduction of additional direct services or an increase in the frequency of services.
‘Cluj-Napoca is an exciting addition to our growing variety of direct services. Home to incredible architecture and gothic-style landmarks dating back to Saxon and Hungarian rule, vibrant nightlife and a wide range of forests and parks, Cluj-Napoca has something to offer everyone.
‘We are pleased this route has been reintroduced and look forward to making the route a success for Wizz Air.’
Tamara Vallois, Head of Communications at Wizz Air, said: ‘We are happy to celebrate the commencement of an exciting new route at Birmingham Airport. Our newest route from Birmingham connects the city with Romania’s second largest city, the lively Cluj-Napoca, which brings an outstanding opportunity for the travellers who seek adventure to explore real Romanian hospitality and the vibe of Transylvania.
‘Cluj-Napoca offers bubbling nightlife and historical sites, a perfect combination for a weekend trip to Central and Eastern Europe. We are sure that our UK customers will enjoy visiting this special city as well as Birmingham will get even more cosmopolitan with tourists visiting the region.
‘We would like to thank Birmingham Airport and look forward to welcoming many passengers on board our sixth route from Birmingham.’
