Wizz Air Resumes Cluj-Napoca to Billund Route
Wizz Air, recognized as the most environmentally sustainable airline in the EMEA region*, has announced the much-anticipated resumption of direct flights between Cluj-Napoca, Romania and Billund, Denmark. This move marks a significant step in the airline’s continued efforts to expand its regional presence while enhancing connectivity between Central Europe and Scandinavia.
Starting October 27, 2025, the route will operate twice weekly, with flights scheduled every Monday and Friday. With base fares beginning at just RON 99.99**, tickets are already available for purchase through Wizz Air’s official website and mobile application, making affordable travel to Denmark just a few clicks away for Romanian passengers.
A Strategic Move in Wizz Air’s Expansion Plans
The reopening of this route is not only a response to strong passenger demand but also an integral part of Wizz Air’s broader strategic vision to increase its footprint in Eastern Europe. Anastasia Novak, Corporate Communications Manager at Wizz Air, highlighted the importance of this relaunch in the context of the airline’s growth plans:
“Expanding the route network from Cluj-Napoca remains a priority for the airline, and the relaunch of flights to Billund reflects that ambition. Coming right after the announcement of the Castellon and Heraklion routes starting this summer season, the new service offers passengers even more choices for affordable travel, in line with Wizz Air’s Customer First Compass network-wide transformation plan. I am excited to welcome you on board our aircraft to even more wonderful destinations from Cluj Airport!”
Cluj-Napoca has long been a key base for Wizz Air in Romania. With the addition of Billund, Wizz Air will now offer flights to 37 destinations across 14 countries from Cluj-Napoca, underscoring the city’s importance in its operational network. This growing portfolio supports not only leisure travel but also contributes to business travel and strengthens economic ties between Romania and other European nations.
A Gateway to Denmark’s Family Entertainment Capital
Billund, located in the heart of Denmark, is widely known as the birthplace of LEGO and home to the world-renowned LEGOLAND Billund Resort. But beyond the famous theme park, the city offers a host of family-friendly attractions, cultural experiences, and modern Scandinavian hospitality that make it an appealing destination for tourists of all ages.
Ioana Seghete, a Cluj-based flight attendant and Wizz Air ambassador, shared her personal experiences flying to Billund and spoke enthusiastically about what makes the city so special:
“Billund is a charming town in Denmark and home to the world-famous LEGOLAND Billund Resort. Through my time working at Wizz Air, I have been there many times, and I must say it is a must-visit for families and enthusiasts of all ages. Beyond the colourful bricks, visitors can explore the impressive LEGO House – an interactive experience centre – and enjoy nearby attractions like Lalandia Water Park or Givskud Zoo. Its unique blend of creativity, family-friendly fun and Danish hospitality makes Billund a memorable destination. I look forward to meeting you all on our reestablished flights to Billund!”
For Romanian families planning holidays, students studying abroad, or travelers seeking a Nordic getaway, this revived route offers both convenience and affordability.
Responding to Local Demand and Economic Opportunity
The resumption of flights to Billund is not just about expanding travel choices—it’s also a direct response to regional demand. According to Cluj International Airport, the route had been one of the most frequently requested by passengers in the airport’s catchment area since its suspension in February 2023.
David Ciceo, CEO of Cluj International Airport, expressed optimism about the route’s impact on regional mobility and economic activity:
“We are very pleased to be able to announce, together with airline operator Wizz Air, the resumption of flights to Billund and to Denmark, starting in October this year. The Billund destination has been one of the most requested by passengers in our coverage area since its suspension in February 2023, and we believe that its reintroduction in the network of destinations available from Cluj-Napoca will increase both the tourist flows between the two countries and help to stimulate economic exchanges between the two interconnected regions through direct flights at affordable prices for passengers.”
The direct connection between Cluj and Billund is expected to benefit both inbound and outbound travel. Romanian tourists will find easier access to one of Denmark’s most visited regions, while Danish travelers can explore the cultural and natural beauty of Transylvania. Moreover, the route will facilitate business relationships, academic exchanges, and other cross-border activities.
Viorel Federiga, President of the Board of Directors of Cluj International Airport, emphasized the broader significance of Wizz Air’s commitment:
“A new destination means new travel options for Cluj Airport passengers, and this very popular Wizz Air route can only strengthen the airport’s position in the region as Transylvania’s main air gateway. We wish much success to the airline operator and to as many more announcements of this kind for Avram Iancu Cluj International Airport.”
Supporting Regional Growth and Sustainability
The new Cluj–Billund route is part of Wizz Air’s larger commitment to environmental sustainability and economic development. As Europe’s greenest airline, Wizz Air continues to invest in modern, fuel-efficient aircraft and operational practices that reduce carbon emissions. Reintroducing this high-demand route with efficient scheduling supports both sustainable growth and improved access.
By offering more international connections from Cluj-Napoca, Wizz Air not only boosts tourism and trade but also fosters job creation in sectors ranging from hospitality and retail to logistics and transportation. The airline’s growth also complements the ongoing modernization and expansion efforts at Cluj International Airport, which seeks to establish itself as a premier aviation hub in Eastern Europe.
Booking and Travel Information
Travelers interested in visiting Denmark can now book their Cluj–Billund tickets directly through Wizz Air’s official website or mobile app. With fares starting at only RON 99.99**, the airline continues to offer competitive pricing to encourage early booking and wider access.
Flights will operate on a bi-weekly schedule, departing on Mondays and Fridays, ideal for both short weekend getaways and extended stays. Wizz Air also provides flexible ticket options, baggage packages, and premium services for travelers seeking added convenience.
The reopening of the Cluj-Napoca–Billund route represents more than just the return of a discontinued service. It reflects Wizz Air’s broader mission to democratize air travel, connect diverse regions, and support Europe’s sustainable aviation future.
With passenger demand rising post-pandemic and air travel returning to growth across the continent, Wizz Air’s expansion strategy from secondary and regional airports like Cluj is both timely and impactful. As Cluj Airport continues to attract more international routes, and as Wizz Air strengthens its market presence, Romanian travelers stand to benefit from a more connected and accessible future in European aviation.
