A new direct air link between the UK and Romania has just touched down! AnimaWings launched its maiden flight from London Gatwick to Bucharest Henri Coandă Airport on Sunday, 22 March.
The fresh route operates six times a week from Gatwick’s South Terminal, giving travellers more chances to jet straight to Romania’s vibrant capital.
Fresh Jets, First-Class Comfort
Flights will roar between London and Bucharest aboard slick Airbus A220-300 jets. Passengers can pick Business, Premium Economy, or Economy cabins for a smooth, comfy ride.
Bucharest: Europe’s New Hotspot
Bucharest is quickly climbing the charts as the go-to city break in Europe. It packs stunning historic landmarks, elegant Belle Époque streets, and a buzzing café and food scene. It’s also your gateway to Romania’s scenic treasures like Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains.

“We’re delighted to welcome AnimaWings,” said Jonny Macneal, Head of Aviation Development at Gatwick. “This service boosts travel options between the UK and Romania and strengthens our European network. It’s fantastic to see a new airline join us, and we look forward to supporting their growth.”
“The UK is a key destination for us with strong business, tourism, and community ties,” said AnimaWings CEO Marius Pandel. “We’re proud to offer a high-quality, full-service option using our modern fleet. We aim to redefine Romanian aviation standards.”
