Changes in the air for budget carriers and Tarom
Low-cost flights currently operating out of Bucharest’s Baneasa Airport will switch to Henri Coanda International Airport from March 2012, Ministry of Transportation officials have announced December 2011 - From the Print Edition
Budget airlines operating in Romania, such as Wizz Air and Blue Air, have protested that the measure will push up air fares, with representatives of Wizz Air saying that taxes at Otopeni are much higher. But ministerial officials deny the claim, saying that the move will only marginally raise fares. “The increased cost of a ticket would be EUR 4 and I am saying this to prevent a new round of complaints from private operators in order to justify higher ticket prices,” said Anca Boagiu, the minister of transportation, on a visit to Otopeni Airport.
Henri Coanda International Airport will see another major change next year, with the opening of a second departures terminal scheduled for July 2012. The new 19,600-sqm terminal will be developed by the Bucharest Airports National Company, with an investment of EUR 62 million. According to Boagiu, the new terminal will double the airport’s transportation capacity and include 52 check-in desks and eight boarding gates. On the list of companies to be privatized drawn up with the International Monetary Fund, the first auction to select a consultant for the sale of a 20 percent stake in Tarom ended in failure. The sole offer was deemed “expensive and unsuitable”, said Boagiu. The auction was annulled but the ministry will organize another, as, according to the minister, a consultant has to be selected by December.
