Summer travel in Europe is becoming even more affordable: a popular low-cost airline has announced the launch of new flights from Romania to popular seaside resorts. Tickets priced at around $30 open up new opportunities for tourists looking for budget routes to the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. Find out which destinations the airline is adding and when the flights will start
Wizz Air continues to expand its presence in Romania and has announced new summer routes for 2026. The Hungarian low-cost airline is launching flights from Cluj-Napoca Airport to two popular holiday destinations — the Mediterranean and the Adriatic.
New routes for summer 2026
From the end of May, the airline will begin operating flights to the following destinations:
✈️ Cluj-Napoca — Malta: flights every Monday and Friday, starting on 22 May 2026;
✈️ Cluj-Napoca — Dubrovnik (Croatia): flights every Tuesday and Saturday, starting on 23 May 2026.
At the start of sales, ticket prices start at 129 Romanian lei — that's about $30 or just under 1,300 hryvnia at the current exchange rate. Traditionally, such fares are available in limited quantities, so when planning your trip, it is worth booking in advance.
Romania remains one of the key aviation hubs in the region, especially for travellers from Ukraine. Cluj-Napoca is located approximately 260 km from Mukachevo and about 350 km from Chernivtsi, making this airport a convenient alternative for flights to Europe and the sea.
