## Description

Wizz Air's large base, plus Lufthansa, LOT and other network carriers, anchors Cluj Avram Iancu Airport (IATA: CLJ, ICAO: LRCL), Romania's second-busiest airport and Transylvania's main cargo gateway after Bucharest. East of Cluj-Napoca, it handled about 7,418 tonnes of freight in 2023 (up nearly 7 percent on 2022) and 3.3 million passengers in 2024. A dedicated cargo terminal, with ground handling by Menzies Aviation, regularly processes express and feeder freight. Cluj's IT, automotive-supplier and manufacturing base keeps air-freight demand steady. For very large consignments, Bucharest Henri Coandă (OTP) remains the nearest bigger freight hub.
