flydubai’s Journey in Romania

flydubai has been flying to Bucharest, Romania’s capital, since 2012. Over the years, the airline has seen an increase in passenger demand. More people from the UAE are traveling to Romania, and more Romanians are flying to Dubai for business, leisure, and tourism.

By joining forces with TAROM, flydubai continues to grow its network and connect passengers to previously underserved markets. The airline now operates flights to more than 135 destinations across 57 countries, opening more than 100 new routes that did not previously have direct flights to Dubai.

This growth helps Dubai maintain its position as a leading global aviation hub. It also provides travelers with convenient connections and more opportunities to explore new destinations.

Costin Iordache, General Manager of TAROM, shared his thoughts on the partnership: “As Romania’s national carrier, TAROM is delighted to join hands with flydubai. It is a natural step in our strategy to facilitate connectivity between the cities we operate in and the most interesting travel destinations. Together we will offer passengers safe, reliable, and convenient travel options, connecting our regions and supporting tourism and business.”

This agreement allows both airlines to support trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between their countries. Passengers benefit from easier travel planning, better flight connections, and reliable service.
