These airlines offer affordable fares and have played a significant role in stimulating demand for air travel. As a result, traditional full-service airlines have also had to adapt by introducing competitive pricing and offering more flexible options to attract customers. Another trend in the market is the increased focus on regional connectivity.

Additionally, Romania's membership in the European Union has facilitated the growth of the aviation sector by promoting regulatory harmonization and encouraging investment in airport infrastructure.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has translated into higher demand for travel, including air travel. Furthermore, Romania has seen a rise in tourism, with more international visitors coming to explore the country's attractions. This has contributed to the growth of the Flights market as airlines expand their routes and frequencies to cater to the increasing demand. In conclusion, the Flights market in Romania is developing rapidly due to changing customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The growth of low-cost carriers, the focus on regional connectivity, Romania's strategic location, and favorable macroeconomic conditions have all contributed to the expansion of the market.
