Dubai based airline, flydubai, has added a new destination to its growing schedule. Starting from 20 March, new flights will operate from Dubai to Cluj-Napoka in Romania.
The new route will operate twice a week taking the total number of flights to Romania to 16 per week, including the double daily flights to Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai said, "We first started operating to Bucharest with four flights a week in 2012. Since then, flydubai has more than tripled its operations to the market as demand has grown for commercial and cargo traffic between Romania and the UAE. We are excited to offer more options for convenient direct airlinks to the market with the start of our flights to Cluj-Napoka and we look forward to further stimulating travel and trade flows in both directions."
Ghaith added,"Cluj-Napoka is the second-largest city in Romania with one of the most dynamic economies in the country and is the largest centre for innovation and business opportunities in Transylvania. Avram Iancu International Airport Cluj (CLJ) is considered an important gateway to the north-western region of Romania. Located 10 kilometres east from Cluj-Napoca’s city centre, the airport is close to the most important attractions of the city, also known as 'the heart of Transylvania'."
