From the Cluj-Napoca airport routes go to Dubai, Munchen-Memmingen, Alicante, Billund, Doncaster/Sheffield and Berlin. The newest routes leaving from Iasi are towards Bologna, Larnaca, Roma and Tel Aviv. In March, the company launched a route from Constanta to London Lutton, while Targu Mures incudes arrivals such as Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Dortmund, Frankfurt Hahn and Munchen-Memmingen.
