You've decided you want to skydive. Congratulations — it's one of the most courageous and 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've analyzed the most well-known active airfields in the country and chosen the top 3 locations we recommend without reservation.
If you want a complete overview first — detailed prices, what each package includes and how the entire process works — you'll find all the details in our complete guide to skydiving Romania. Then come back here to choose the right location for you.
Why choosing the right skydiving center matters
It might seem like a jump is a jump, wherever you do it. But the details matter more than you think.
Location influences the landscape you'll see in free fall and under the open parachute. Plains, sea or hills — each offers a different visual experience. 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 facility's infrastructure matters — a well-organized airfield means experienced instructors, checked equipment and a stress-free day.

The jump takes place from 4,000 meters altitude. Free fall lasts approximately 60 seconds, at a speed of about 200 km/h. After the parachute opens, you'll have 6–10 minutes of smooth gliding above the Ilfov plains — relaxing, almost meditative compared to what you just experienced.
Tuzla Airfield — skydiving above the Black Sea
- Jump altitude: 4,000 meters
- Free fall: ~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, coastline
If you want your first skydive to also be an unforgettable visual spectacle, Tuzla is the place. You jump above the Romanian coastline, with the Black Sea stretching beneath you. There aren't many people who can say they've seen the sea from 4,000 meters in free fall.
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 are made at least 7 days in advance.
Luncani Airfield — skydiving in Cluj
- Jump altitude: 3,000 meters
- Free fall: 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 Luncani airfield. The jump is made from 3,000 meters altitude — somewhat lower than other locations, but sufficient for a complete free fall experience. The landscape is typical Transylvanian: hills, valleys, forests — completely different from the plains around Bucharest or the Black Sea coast.
As with other locations, you need no prior training. The instructor handles everything, from exiting the aircraft to landing. The voucher is valid for 12 months.
How to choose the right center for you
Here's a quick decision guide — all three locations in one place:
| Criteria | Clinceni | Tuzla | Luncani (Cluj) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jump altitude | 4,000 m | 4,000 m | 3,000 m |
| Landscape | Plains / 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 it's your first jump and you want to simplify logistics, Clinceni is the pragmatic choice. If you want an experience you'll talk about endlessly, with sea and sun, Tuzla wins by far. If you're from Cluj or Transylvania, Luncani offers everything you need without a half-day journey.

Is skydiving safe in Romania? What safety measures exist?
