Ryanair announces its biggest summer schedule for Cluj-Napoca, featuring 5 routes, 30 weekly flights, and a projected 40% passenger growth, supporting over 230 local jobs, according to Travel Wires.
Celebrating its fifth year of operations in Cluj-Napoca, Ryanair’s continuous growth underscores its commitment to the area, despite competing airlines such as Wizz Air reducing their European presence.
Mauro Bola, Ryanair’s Head of Communications for Italy & Eastern Mediterranean, highlighted the airline’s dedication to connecting Cluj-Napoca with key European cities, boosting both passenger numbers and local employment. In contrast, he noted the decline of other carriers, particularly Wizz Air, which has scaled back operations significantly.
David Ciceo, CEO of Cluj International Airport, welcomed Ryanair’s increased flight frequencies and passenger projections for the summer of 2024, acknowledging the airline’s strong confidence in the airport and the region’s growing demand for air travel. He expressed enthusiasm for the enhanced partnership and the benefits it brings to travelers, including greater flexibility and choice.
Cluj International Airport is dedicated to improving passenger services and facilities, working closely with Ryanair to expand the route network and enhance the overall travel experience for those flying from Cluj.
This expansion by Ryanair not only strengthens Cluj-Napoca’s position in the global air travel network but also signifies the airline’s unwavering commitment to regional development and customer satisfaction.
