Timișoara Airport to Close from November 2–22, 2026: What Passengers Need to Know

Timișoara International Airport “Traian Vuia” will be completely closed for approximately three weeks in November 2026 for essential runway repair works.

At Zbor24.ro, we want to make sure that passengers who have travel plans during this period are aware of what will happen to their flights and what they should do in case of any changes.

When will Timișoara Airport be closed?

According to official information, the runway at Timișoara International Airport will be completely closed during the following period:

• November 2, 2026, at 08:00 – closure begins;
• November 22, 2026, at 21:00 – operations resume.

Throughout this period, all takeoffs and landings will be suspended, as the works require the runway to be fully closed. The purpose of the works is to improve operating conditions and maintain a high level of flight safety over the medium and long term.

What will happen to scheduled flights?

The airport closure does not mean that all flights will automatically be transferred to a single alternative airport.
Airlines will determine their own arrangements for affected flights. Depending on the airline and the route booked, a flight may be cancelled, rescheduled, rerouted, or moved to another airport.

Therefore, if you have a ticket for a flight to or from Timișoara between November 2 and 22, 2026, it is very important to check the status of your booking before travelling.

Timișoara Airport has already informed airlines about the closure period so that they can adjust their flight schedules and notify passengers accordingly.

Which airports will flights depart from?

There is no single backup airport to which all flights from Timișoara will be transferred.
Depending on the airline, some flights may operate from alternative airports in the region, such as Arad or Oradea, while other passengers may be offered rescheduling or refunds.

Therefore, we do not recommend that passengers travel directly to another airport without first receiving confirmation from their airline.
Each booking must be checked individually.

What should I do if I already have a ticket?

If you have a trip scheduled during the period when Timișoara Airport will be closed, we recommend that you do not wait until the day of departure.

If you purchased your ticket directly from the airline

Contact the airline and check:

• whether your flight is still operating;
• which airport the flight will depart from;
• whether the flight time has changed;
• whether rescheduling is possible;
• whether you are entitled to a ticket refund.

Also, keep an eye on emails and notifications sent by the airline.
