Dortmund Airport now connects the Ruhr region with two additional destinations in Eastern Europe: Wrocław in Poland and Târgu Mureș in Romania are now served several times a week from Dortmund. The new routes were officially launched on the apron together with the Wizz Air crew.
Wrocław – the Venice of the East
The first inaugural flight to Poland took off at approximately 1:20 p.m. Wrocław is now the fifth destination served by Wizz Air from Dortmund in the neighboring country. The city in southwestern Poland can now be reached twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. From June, the service will be expanded to three weekly flights, and the subsequent winter schedule will include four flights per week. The flight time is only about 80 minutes.
With over 100 bridges and numerous islands along the Oder River, Wrocław is rightly nicknamed the “Venice of the East.” Its historic Old Town, vibrant cultural scene, and dynamic economy make it an attractive destination for both leisure and business travelers. Beyond tourism, Wrocław is also gaining importance as a business location. International companies and startups are driving the city’s dynamic development.
The gateway to Transylvania
Just two hours later, the second inaugural flight took off: an Airbus A320 bound for Târgu Mureș in Romania. This connection is also offered twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays. With nine routes currently available, Romania is the country with the most direct connections in the route network from Dortmund.
Târgu Mureș lies in the heart of Transylvania and is considered the region’s cultural center. The city is characterized by Romanian, Hungarian, and German influences and boasts historic architecture and a vibrant city center. At the same time, it is an ideal starting point for excursions into the forests of Transylvania or the nearby Carpathian Mountains, and is also part of the legendary landscape of Transylvania.
