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.
