After a 10-year break, Băneasa Airport will be reopened, in the north of the capital
After an almost 10-year break, Băneasa Airport, in the north of the capital, will be reopened this summer. It will take over some of the flights from Otopeni Airport, to reduce congestion, for internal and external routes, said George Dorobanţu, director general of the Airports Company Bucharest.
George Dorobanţu: In a couple of weeks’ time, we will already have the first commercial flights there. We are talking to a number of charter specialized companies to start operating, at least during the summer, from Băneasa, so that we can free some slots, some periods of time on Otopeni, and, at the same time, we are having talks with smaller operators, specialized in internal or regulated trips, not necessarily line trips, to operate smaller planes including ATR, from Băneasa, especially business, trips to other locations in Romania or in neighboring countries.
