CLJ Cluj

How deep the CLJ board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CLJ. This reads the same 61 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 44of the 61 destinations are flown by one airline
• 47destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 65.6%of the destinations name Wizz Air Malta, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CLJ

18 airlines appear on the CLJ board and they do not hold it evenly. Wizz Air Malta is on 40 of the 61 destinations, 65.6 per cent of them, and on 32 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 27.2 of the 49 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Anima Wings Aviation S.A. on 9 destinations. 10 of the 18 airlines at CLJ appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 40 of the 61 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a CLJ sector is usually another Wizz Air Malta aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at CLJ than the destination count does.

How much of the CLJ board is daily

Of the 61 destinations, 14 are flown at least once a day and 47 are not, 9 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CLJ board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CLJ to Tirana (TIA) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 18 of the 49 departures a day, 36.7 per cent of the whole board. With 77 per cent of the 61 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of CLJ where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 29 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CLJ

The desk holds the return direction for 43 of the 61 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into CLJ runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Heraklion (HER) at 0.71 out a day against 0.29 back, Milan (MXP) at 1.1 out a day against 0.57 back and Istanbul (IST) at 2.7 out a day against 1.9 back.

It runs the other way as well: Palma De Mallorca (PMI) files 0.43 a day back into CLJ against 0.29 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CLJ

CLJ keeps Europe/Bucharest time, an hour behind Dubai in summer and two hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 08:00 at CLJ, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at CLJ and still make a departure the same day.

The night at CLJ

6 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from CLJ that lands inside it leaves around 21:20, on a modelled block of 1h 40m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CLJ that lands inside it leaves around 22:02, on a modelled block of 1h 58m. Into Bâle/Mulhouse (BSL) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CLJ that lands inside it leaves around 21:56, on a modelled block of 2h 04m. Those three departure times out of CLJ are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where CLJ turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Romania country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 1 airport pair page that start or end at CLJ, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Cluj to Eindhoven (EIN).

Seven courier postings name CLJ as the airport a courier here flies from: Cluj-Napoca, Târgu Mureş and Oradea.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CLJ already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 61 destinations above.
