Event: The government of Romania has closed its border to all non-Romanian citizens except as part of a well-defined transit itinerary, with some exceptions, including for diplomats. Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice. Flights have been significantly reduced. Currently, there is one daily KLM flight to Amsterdam and one daily Turkish Air flight to Istanbul. Lufthansa, British Airways and RyanAir have suspended service. However, Lufthansa has scheduled one “repatriation” flight from Bucharest to Frankfurt for Wednesday, March 25. Wizz Air and TAROM are still providing international routes with no announced cancellations. U.S. citizens who are considering returning to the United States are urged to work with their airlines to make travel arrangements while flights are still available.
Many travelers worldwide have reported unexpected flight cancellations and limited flight availability. If your travel has been disrupted, please contact your airline.
