It seems International Airport of Brașov in Transylvania, Central Romania, is getting more catchy for budget airlines. A Romanian company, Dan Air, announced before that they would fly from Brassó (Brasov) to Hungary. Now Wizz Air said they would also launch some flights from there.
Dan Air is very self-confident
According to Krónika Online, a Hungarian news outlet in Romania, the chairman of the Brassó County Council, Adrian Veștea, could not confirm that Dan Air could launch several flights from the Brașov International Airport. The airline told Krónika that 90 percent of the airports they approached replied positively. Thus, an official announcement will happen soon.
The airline added that they did not have to negotiate with the airports because they aim to use some free slots. They said they waited for positive replies from other airports before starting talks with the Brașov International Airport. Since there is not a crowd of flights, Matt Ian David, the airline’s CEO, expects them to send their answer quickly. He highlighted that he talked with Alexandru Anghel, the director of the Transylvanian city’s airport.

He also cleared that they did not yet make an official announcement about their flights. Some media outlets acquired the information. Boardingpass.ro wrote last week that Dan Air would operate the following routes:
Brassó–Barcelona–Brassó (every Tuesday)
Brassó–Brussels– Brassó (every Wednesday)
Brassó–Budapest–Brassó (Tuesdays and Sundays)
Brassó–London LGW–Brassó (on Fridays)
Brassó– Milan LIN–Brassó (on Mondays)
Brassó–Munich–Brassó (on Saturdays)
Brassó–Nürenberg–Brassó (on Thursdays)
Brassó– Stuttgart–Brassó (on Thursdays)
Wizz Air also expanding in Brassó?
Based on a reliable source of mytex.ro, Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air also plans to launch flights from the Transylvanian city from 15 June. No routes have yet been officially announced, but the source talked about Brassó-Budapest and Brassó-Frankfurt flights.
The chairman of the local council neither denied nor confirmed that. Air Connect, HiSky and Animawings already announced they would operate flights from Brassó, where regular air traffic can start from 15 June.
The Brașov International Airport is the first airport built after the fall of Communism in Romania. It cost EUR 130 million, and its capacity can be extended. Here are some photos about how the project started:
