Flights from Bucharest (Otopeni)

Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) is not only the largest transit point in Romania, but also a complex logistics hub. At Zbor24.ro, we don’t just sell you a ticket; we provide the expertise you need so that your experience, from check-in to boarding, is stress-free.

New rules: Flights from Bucharest and the Air-Schengen area

Important: With Romania’s accession to Air-Schengen, passenger flows have changed. If you are flying to a destination within the Schengen area, you no longer pass through passport control, which significantly reduces waiting time. However, for Non-Schengen destinations (e.g. the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Turkey, the USA), control remains mandatory.
