Airlines & baggage
The carriers operating at the Transylvania airports — Cluj-Napoca, Târgu Mureș and Sibiu — with the ground handler and the steps for lost baggage or belongings. Flight data is live; handling contacts can change, so confirm before you travel.

Menzies Aviation Romania
The main ground handler (ramp & baggage) at Cluj-Napoca and Sibiu
Menzies runs the “below-the-wing” services — aircraft loading/unloading, baggage sorting and transport, plus check-in and boarding for most airlines. If a checked bag is missing or damaged, or you left something on board, the Menzies desk is the first point of contact at Cluj and Sibiu. At Târgu Mureș, handling is done by the airport itself (below).
Lost a bag or a personal item?
It matters WHERE it happened — at the airport or on board the aircraft. These are two different routes.
At the airport
A checked bag missing or damaged: go to the ground handler’s desk in the baggage hall and file a report (PIR) BEFORE you leave. An item lost or left in the terminal (at security, at the gate): contact the airport’s lost-property office.
What is a PIR? A PIR (Property Irregularity Report) is the official claim form for a missing or damaged checked bag. It is filled in on the spot at the handler’s desk — not online — and you get a reference number your airline uses to trace the bag. Keep your bag tag and boarding pass; you then track the bag on your airline’s “baggage tracing” page.
On board — during the flight
An item left on the aircraft is the airline’s responsibility, not the airport’s. Contact the airline you flew with as soon as possible (flight number and seat). At Cluj and Sibiu, items found on board are usually collected by Menzies (contact above); at Târgu Mureș, by the airport. Always confirm with your airline.
Baggage desk, per airport
Where: Menzies desk in the baggage reclaim hall (arrivals). File the report (PIR) BEFORE leaving the baggage area.
Where: The airport handling office in arrivals. Baggage is handled directly by the airport staff.

Track your bag online
Once you have filed the PIR and have the reference number, you can track the bag on your airline’s official page. Direct links for the main carriers:
