New Wizz Air flight connects Budapest with city close to Dracula’s castle

The launch of a Budapest-Brasov (Brassó) service by Wizz Air is an important step for both cities and countries, a government official said at Liszt Ferenc International airport on Tuesday. Dracula’s castle is not far from the Brasov-Vidombák international airport.

Ferenc Antal, a deputy state secretary at the national economy ministry and a member of the board of Liszt Ferenc International operator Budapest Airport, said the flight operating three times a week would contribute to the further strengthening of business and cultural ties between Hungary and Romania.

Wizz Air corporate and ESG officer Yvonne Moynihan said the flight is the sixth new route from Budapest announced by the airline this summer, adding that more services will be launched later.

Budapest Airport deputy chief executive Balazs Bogats noted that borders controls with Romania have been lifted as the country has joined the EU’s passport-free Schengen zone.

Brasov-Vidombák international airport is just 30 kilometres away from Bran (Törcsvár) and the mesmerizing “Dracula castle” located in the village. Read more about Elon Musk’s Halloween party in the castle in THIS article.
