Airlines Operating on Baneasa Airport Might Move to Otopeni Airport in a few years
Taxes on Bucharest's Baneasa Airport will increase on a medium or long term, so the airlines operating here might relocate their activity to Otopeni Airport, just outside Bucharest, starting 2012, General Manager of Baneasa Airport George Mihalcea said today. “Taxes on Baneasa Airport will be higher than those on Otopeni Airport due to the investments made here, and in this way the airport will retrieve a part of the invested money. Airliners might thus relocate their activities to Otopeni. Starting 2012, Otopeni would be able to take over Baneasa's entire operations and the latter would operate only mobile emergency service flights or police flights," according to Mihalcea.
