I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As the airport continues to expand its services, I hope to see direct flights to Switzerland in the future. Safe travels!

About 24 years ago when I was in love with a girl from Sfantu Gheorghe, I had to take the train from Budapest, with a journey time of over 14 hours. I would have been so glad with a direct flight to Brasov! Good luck and all the best to this nice new airport, may it serve the local communities well! Love from Hungary!

Due to mismanagement and low passenger numbers, FlyLili has closed their base at the airport, leaving WizzAir as the sole airline there until 11 weekly charter flights begin in the summer. Nevertheless, the airport authorities have said that WizzAir and Ryanair will open new routes, and that discussions with Transavia are ongoing. We really hope its true!!!

It's encouraging to hear that Wizz Air continues to serve the airport, offering flights to destinations like Barcelona, Brussels, Budapest, London, Milan, Munich, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart.
The prospect of new routes from Wizz Air and potential collaborations with Ryanair and Transavia is promising for the airport's future.
Let's stay optimistic about these developments, hoping they bring more connectivity and opportunities to the region.
