You've decided you want to skydive. Congratulations — it's one of the bravest and most memorable decisions you can make. But now comes the practical question: where exactly do you skydive in Romania?
Not all centers are the same. They differ in altitude, landscape, operating season, and the experience they offer. We have analyzed the most well-known active aerodromes in the country and selected the top 3 locations that we unreservedly recommend.
If you first want a complete picture — detailed prices, what each package includes, and how the whole process works — you can find all the details in our complete guide to skydiving in Romania. Then come back here to choose the right location for you.
Why choosing the skydiving center matters
It might seem that a jump is just a jump, no matter where you do it. But the details matter more than you think.
The location influences the landscape you will see in freefall and under an open parachute. Plain, sea, or hills — each offers a different visual experience. The distance from your city also matters, because you don't want to travel 300 km for a jump day that might be rescheduled due to weather. And, last but not least, the infrastructure of the place matters — a well-organized aerodrome means experienced instructors, checked equipment, and a stress-free day.

The jump takes place from an altitude of 4,000 meters. The freefall lasts approximately 60 seconds, at a speed of about 200 km/h. After the parachute opens, there are 6–10 minutes of smooth gliding above the Ilfov plain — relaxing, almost meditative compared to what you just experienced.
Tuzla Aerodrome — skydiving above the Black Sea
- Jump altitude: 4,000 meters
- Freefall: ~60 seconds at 200 km/h
- Parachute flight: 6–10 minutes
- Season: Summer (coastal season)
- Booking: Minimum 7 days in advance
- Voucher validity: 12 months
- Landscape: Black Sea, beaches, coast
If you want your first parachute jump to also be an unforgettable visual spectacle, Tuzla is the place. Jump above the Romanian coast, with the Black Sea stretching out beneath you. Not many people can say they have seen the sea from 4,000 meters, in freefall.
The season is predominantly summer, correlated with the coastal season. The voucher is valid for 12 months, so you can buy now and jump when the season opens. Bookings must be made at least 7 days in advance.
Luncani Aerodrome — skydiving in Cluj
- Jump altitude: 3,000 meters
- Freefall: included in tandem package
- Voucher validity: 12 months
- Landscape: Transylvanian hills and valleys
- Distance from Cluj-Napoca: close
Cluj-Napoca has its own skydiving area, at the Luncani aerodrome. The jump is made from an altitude of 3,000 meters — slightly lower than other locations, but enough for a complete freefall experience. The landscape is typical Transylvanian: hills, valleys, forests — completely different from the plains around Bucharest or the Black Sea coast.
As in other locations, no prior training is required. The instructor handles everything, from exiting the plane to landing. The voucher is valid for 12 months.
How to choose the right skydiving center for you
Here's a quick decision guide — all three locations in one place:
| Criterion | Clinceni | Tuzla | Luncani (Cluj) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jump altitude | 4,000 m | 4,000 m | 3,000 m |
| Landscape | Plain / Bucharest | Black Sea | Transylvanian hills |
| Active season | March — November | Summer (coastal) | Variable season |
| Distance from Bucharest | ~20 km | ~250 km | ~450 km |
| Ideal for | Simple logistics, long season | Maximum visual experience | Transylvanians, different landscape |
If this is your first jump and you want to simplify logistics, Clinceni is the pragmatic choice. If you want an endlessly memorable experience, with sea and sun, Tuzla wins hands down. If you're from Cluj or Transylvania, Luncani offers everything you need without a half-day trip.

Is skydiving safe in Romania? What safety measures are in place?
