Wizz Air expands flights to a beloved Eastern European city for the holiday season

Wizz Air’s direct flight from Budapest to Brașov (Romania), launched in the summer, has quickly gained popularity, prompting the low-cost airline to boost its service frequency over the holiday season. Between December 17 and January 11, the airline will increase the number of flights heading to Budapest.

Wizz Air to fly the Budapest-Brașov route more frequently

According to information shared by the local international airport and reported by Maszol on Monday, Wizz Air will offer additional flights between Budapest and Brașov during the holiday period. Instead of the usual three flights per week, passengers can now look forward to four weekly departures—on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—from 17 December through 11 January.

Wizz Air inaugurated this route on 2 July, emphasising its significance for both cities and countries alike. This new connection primarily enhances access to the Szekler Land region from Hungary’s capital, as the city is closer to several Szekler settlements than other airports with direct flights to Budapest.

Maszol highlighted data from recent months that clearly reflects the route’s strong demand, with 5,000–6,000 monthly travelers between the two cities and occupancy rates exceeding 80%.

The international airport of Brașov, which opened in June 2023, is Romania’s first greenfield airport since the fall of the Iron Curtain. Its establishment was heavily backed by local councils in the Szekler Land, who view the airport as a vital link connecting the region’s Hungarian-speaking communities with the wider world.
