British Airways is looking into offering flights to Transylvania from the UK.
BA doubled the number of flights it operates between London and Bucharest last year, and it is now likely to expand its services to other Romanian regions.
BA’s Romania commercial manager, Emil Delibashev, said: "Romanian destinations outside Bucharest are important to us and we are particularly interested in Transylvania.”
Targu-Mures airport, the gateway to Transylvania, has reported a three-fold increase in traffic over the last year, although only Wizzair currently offer flights there from the UK. Flights from the UK to Bucharest are a little more competitive, with Wizzair (Liverpool, London Luton) and Easyjet (London Gatwick) offering flights to the Romanian’s capital’s Aurel Vlaicu airport. Romanian national carrier Tarom slugs it out with BA on the route between London Heathrow and Bucharest’s main international hub, Henri Coanda airport.
