Change language:

The opening of Aeroportul Internațional Brașov-Ghimbav
Officially known as Aeroportul Internațional Brașov-Ghimbav, it cost around EUR 120 million to build. The airfield made headlines in Romania not only because it is a new airport, but also because the Swedish SAAB and the Romanian UTI have installed the first virtual control tower in Eastern Europe and Romania here, turizmus.com reports.
The first flight will bring the officials on 15 June on a Tarom plane from Bucharest. From the second half of June, the Romanian Dan Air will fly to Brussels, London and Barcelona. A flight to Budapest was also planned earlier but later cancelled.
CJB chairman Adrian Veştea told a press conference that the aim is to reach one million passengers a year by 2026, but that this would require an urgent agreement with airlines such as Wizz Air, LOT, El Al, Turkish Airlines or Lufthansa. These are the airlines that have shown interest before.
