What is it about?

The paper provides first an introduction to Romanian aviation and proceeds with a review of developments for both airlines and airports. Romania has been scoring notable successes with the rise of successful private companies (e.g. Blue Air and Carpatair), while the leading regional airports are fully matching the dynamism of Bucharest in terms of passenger numbers and improved facilities.

Why is it important?

The performance of the regional airports is uneven due to the intensity of competition within ‘multi-airport regions’ which seems likely to intensify in future as new airports come on stream

Perspectives

Ccompetition between airlines and airports must be seen in a cross-border context.
