No surprise that Romania's population took a major hit. Tons of young Romanians have left to find work in Spain, Italy, and Germany. And, of course, problematic Gypsy/Roma beggars (typically of Romanian and Bulgarian origin) and street children can be now be found in most major Western European cities.
The destinations served from Bucharest's airport by low-cost, no-frills carrier Wizz Air (i.e, aimed primarily at local/O&D traffic; not necessarily tourists or connecting traffic) is indicative of the places where Romanians moved to following the country's ascension to the EU: Alghero, Alicante, Barcelona, Bari, Beauvais (Paris), Bergamo, Bologna, Catania, Charleroi (Brussels), Cuneo (Turin), Dortmund, Dubai, Eindhoven, Geneva, Girona, Larnaca, London-Luton, Madrid, Milan, Naples, Palma de Mallorca, Perugia, Pisa, Rome, Oslo, Tel Aviv, Treviso, Valencia, Verona, Zaragoza.
20 out of the 30 destinations served are to either Italy or Spain.
