## Description

Wizz Air has reshaped Craiova International Airport (IATA: CRA, ICAO: LRCV): based here since 2014, the low-cost carrier adds a second aircraft for winter 2025/26, lifting the southern-Romanian field in Oltenia to 14 routes across seven countries, with new services to Paris Beauvais, Naples, Athens and Barcelona. Management expects more than 600,000 passengers in 2025, a record for the airport. There is no scheduled freight handling yet; a dedicated cargo terminal costing around €100 million is planned but not operational. Despite the nearby Ford (Ford Otosan) plant, industrial goods move by road and rail. For scheduled air freight, Bucharest Otopeni (OTP) about 230 km to the northeast remains the nearest real gateway.
