Airlines
Romania's national carrier is Bucharest-based
Tarom
( call centre 021-204 6464;
www.tarom.ro
)
. While the airline was previously the butt of jokes, in recent years it has
transformed itself into a safe and reliable carrier. It operates an extensive network of do-
mestic flights to cities around Romania. It also flies to major cities in Europe, including
London and Paris, and the Middle East.
Many other national carriers, particularly from Europe and the Middle East, operate
regular flights to Romania, normally between their respective capitals and/or major cities
and Bucharest.
Additionally, many budget carriers service the Romanian market, mainly to and from
destinations in Italy, Spain, Germany and the UK. These include Bucharest-based
WizzAir
and
Blue Air
, Timişoara-based
Carpatair
, as well as
GermanWings
and
Ry-
anair
. Check the airline websites for the latest information on flights and routes.
