I am just back from easter in Romania. We flew Easyjet, the load factor was about 99% both ways as it has been on all previous flights we have done on this route.
Interestingly I spoke to the handling agents at Gatwick and the flight attendants on the flight back from Bucharest. Neither were aware that the route was to be cancelled.
I chatted to the guy on the flight about the situation regarding the change of airports to Baneasa in Bucharest and he said that the airport didnt match up to UK airline safety requirements which is why they hadnt changed airports.
Still the whole affair does sem rather strange and annoying
